What is Fast Track?

An optional add-on that gets your application reviewed and shipped faster, with tracking the whole way.

Add it to any birth, death, marriage, or divorce certificate order.

How it works

What Fast Track does

When you add Fast Track at checkout, we move your application to the top of the review pile, ship it to the Health Department Office by Expedited 2-Day Shipping, request expedited processing where it is offered, and give you tracking the whole way.

1

Front-of-the-line review

Your application goes to the top of the pile. Our specialists review and prepare it in 1 business day, compared with 3–4 business days for standard orders.

2

Expedited 2-Day Shipping

Instead of standard mail, we send your application to the Health Department Office by 2-day expedited shipping, so it arrives faster.

3

Track every step

Follow your application with tracking from the moment it leaves the VRO facility until it arrives at the Health Department Office for processing.

4

Expedited processing

Where the Health Department Office offers expedited or rush processing, Fast Track requests it, so your application is worked on faster once it arrives.

Why add it

Faster delivery, with tracking the whole way

A big part of the wait on a vital record is simply getting your application into the hands of the Health Department Office. Fast Track shortens that step with expedited shipping and keeps you informed with full tracking.

  • Front-of-the-line review: your application is moved to the top of the pile and reviewed in 1 business day, compared with 3–4 business days for standard orders.
  • Expedited 2-Day Shipping: your application travels to the Health Department Office by 2-day shipping instead of standard mail.
  • Expedited processing where offered: in states whose offices provide rush service, we request it so your application is processed faster.
  • Leaves-facility tracking: see exactly when your application departs the VRO facility.
  • Delivery confirmation: know the moment it arrives at the Health Department Office for processing.
  • Works on every certificate: birth, death, marriage, and divorce orders are all eligible.

Fast Track FAQ

What exactly does Fast Track speed up?

Two things. First, your application moves to the top of our review pile and is reviewed in 1 business day, compared with 3–4 business days for standard orders. Second, we ship it to the Health Department Office by Expedited 2-Day Shipping instead of standard mail, with tracking the whole way.

Can I track my application?

Yes. Fast Track includes tracking, so you can see when your application leaves the VRO facility and when it arrives at the Health Department Office for processing.

Does it change how fast the state issues my certificate?

It can, where the issuing office offers expedited or rush processing. In those states, Fast Track requests that faster service so your application is processed sooner after it arrives. Where an office does not offer expedited processing, its standard processing times still apply and remain outside of VRO's control.

How much does it cost?

Fast Track starts at $20 as a one-time add-on. The exact price is shown at checkout based on your certificate type and state.

Which certificates can I add it to?

All of them. Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificate orders are eligible for Fast Track.

How do I add it to my order?

Choose your certificate, complete the application, and select Fast Track on the add-ons step at checkout. Once your application is ready, we ship it to the Health Department Office by 2-day expedited shipping with tracking.
