Vital Records State Fees
Obtaining your vital records documents will allow you to establish your identity, apply for government subsidies, and renew legal documents such as your driver’s license or passport. To get a certified printout of your vital documents, you must fill out an online form and pay the state fees. Some states offer rush services for an additional charge, which may include accelerated processing or expedited delivery, or both.
