Vital Records

Individuals may request certified copies of a vital record from the Clerk’s Office for a fee of:

• $15.00 for the first copy
• $6.00 for each additional copy of the same record 

 

To obtain a certified copy of a vital record, a request form must be filled out, along with proof of identity (driver’s license, passport, or other government issued picture identification).

Proof of lineage is also required when requesting vital records for immediate family members where the applicant is not named on the record.

Identification, application and lineage requirements apply whether the records are requested in person or by mail.
