Vital Records

Virginia birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates are available at all health departments within the Mount Rogers Health District.  Only immediate family members are entitled to a vital record.  Immediate family includes parents, current spouse, adult children, siblings, and grandparents.  Identification is required for all vital record requests.  Death certificates are filed with the local health department in the city or county in which the death occurred.

There is a $12.00 fee per certified copy of a vital record or for the search of a record when no certificate can be located or printed.  Cash, check or credit card are all accepted.  Applications can be obtained at your local health department or visit the website to access an application online.

All Vital Records can also be obtained at the Virginia Department of Health in Richmond.
