What is a Birth or Death Certificates Request?
If you need proof of someone's birth or death, a Birth or Death Certificates Request can help you get those documents. Maybe you need your own birth certificate to get married or maybe you need proof of someone's passing to get your inheritance. A Birth or Death Certificates Request can help you get the documents you need.
You'll probably need a Birth or Death Certificates Request many times in your life: marriage, name changes, and passport applications are just a few examples. Getting a certified copy of someone's birth or death might require a little legwork. Some states have an easy online system in place but others don't. What if you need to make a formal request for a certificate and your state isn't being very helpful? You can request a certificate from the vital statistics department relatively easily. That's good news since you might need the certificate right away. A Birth or Death Certificates Request can help you get the certificate you need when you need it.
Note: We are not affiliated with any of the United States Vital Statistics Records Offices, thus we cannot actually provide you with an actual copy of your birth Certificate. You will need to send the request letter to the appropriate office located here once completed.
