Neat Site: Finding Vital Records
Posted on | April 25, 2007 |
Can’t find your birth certificate? What about your dad’s death certificate?
Thankfully, there is a way to get an extra copy. The National Center for Health Statistics features an online directory for each state’s vital records department - the department you’d need to contact for extra copies of birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates.
Click here to visit the directory, then choose a state (you’ll need to choose the state where the certificate was first issued, not where you live currently). You will need to then contact the agency or agencies listed and you might have to send a copy of a photo ID and also pay a small fee ($10-50).
Don’t need an extra copy right now? You might someday. Visit the Vital Records page and bookmark it for later.
