Ordering Vital Records Online
Español
Be cautious when using other online services that offer to act as agents for expediting your vital certificate applications as you can obtain the same record from our office at a much lower cost. Online vendors sometimes charge customers ten times more than our published fees, and they ultimately send your order to us to be fulfilled. They're typically not authorized by any issuing agency and could possibly put your personal data at risk.
