US Records is a private service that assists individuals with ordering vital records from government agencies. We are not a government agency. Official vital records may be obtained directly from the issuing government office for free or at a lower cost. Our fees cover the convenience of online ordering, guided assistance, document review, and document filing, to help ensure your order meets agency requirements.
