Vital Records
Birth and death records are filed according to the state where the event occurred. If the event occurred in another state, then a certified copy of the record can only be obtained by applying directly to that state. You must bring a valid drivers license when applying for birth and death certificates. Birth and Death Certificates can be obtained through our Vernal or in Roosevelt offices.
