Vital Records Online is a privately owned U.S. company that assists individuals and families with the preparation and submission of applications for certified vital records, including birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates.
Requesting a vital record is often tied to important or time-sensitive moments — such as applying for a passport, managing legal matters, enrolling in school, or handling affairs after the loss of a loved one. Our role is to help make the application process clearer, more secure, and more convenient by guiding customers through the required steps and helping reduce errors that can cause delays.
What We Do
Vital Records Online prepares and files vital records applications on behalf of customers using a guided online process designed to ensure applications are completed accurately and submitted to the appropriate government authority. Certificates are issued solely by the relevant government agency, and processing times vary by state and office.
We are an approved provider of vital record application assistance in California and Montana. Vital Records Online is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government entity.
As part of our commitment to improving the customer experience, we continue to expand our offerings to provide more convenient ways for customers to order their vital records, including enhanced identity verification and optional identity protection features.
Security, Identity Verification, and Privacy
Protecting personal information is a core priority. Vital Records Online has been SOC 2 Type compliant since June 2025 and maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect customer data.
To further support security and identity integrity, we work with trusted third-party providers:
-
CLEAR® — to support secure online identity verification during the application process.
-
Experian® — to provide optional identity protection features that help customers monitor and safeguard their personal information.
Customer information is handled with care and used solely for application preparation, submission assistance, and selected services, in accordance with our privacy practices.
Our Mission
Our mission is to reduce the complexity of obtaining certified vital records by offering guided support, secure systems, and transparent communication. We aim to give customers confidence as they navigate a process that can otherwise feel confusing or overwhelming.
Whether you are requesting a record for yourself or helping a family member, Vital Records Online is here to support you with clarity, security, and peace of mind.
