The Office of Vital Records (OVR) oversees and supports the statewide system used to register, certify, and report vital events.

OVR and county offices respond to customer requests and issue birth, death, and other vital record documents to eligible requesters.
Our work informs public health and improves lives. Together, we make a difference!
