The Issues You May Encounter While Requesting Texas State Documents

The Vital Statistics Section (VSS) of the Texas Department of State Health Services collects and maintains public records such as birth and death records, marriage and divorce records, as well as other important government information.

These records are required by law to be kept on file at the county clerk’s office in Texas. These documents may not be released to anyone without a court order or other legal authorization. However, sometimes an individual must present these vital records to obtain other official documents or for other legal purposes.

Challenges in Obtaining Vital Documents

It is sometimes difficult to procure these documents if you do not live nearby and have to travel across county lines or even out of state to find a copy of a birth or death certificate. Moreover, having to travel can lead to unnecessary delays if you need your birth certificate to apply for a new driver’s license, passport, or real ID or your child’s birth certificate to register them for school.

Even if you do manage to visit the office in person, imagine standing in a line with hundreds of other people just waiting to request copies of their vital records. It could take all day just to put in a request.

In some cases, you could wait up to four weeks before receiving your vital records. Which is why it is essential to know beforehand how long it will take to receive them and whether you can wait or need to get them within a few days or a week.

If the process is not done correctly, you will have problems applying for any government document. Also, you could end up having to pay more money than necessary to correct a problem, which is why it is important to make sure you have all the proper paperwork ready.

Getting the records can be even more difficult because you must comply with the laws regarding access to the documents of other people. If you do not have the proper identification to prove you are an immediate family member, you will not be able to visit the Vital Statistics central office and request their birth or death certificate. That means you would have to wait until you could return home and go through the entire process again using an acceptable ID.

Online Notary Service

In addition to providing vital records services, we also offer online notarization.

Online notarization allows the notary to perform remote notarization without having the individual physically present themselves at the time of the notarization.

It helps to protect the confidentiality of the transaction by eliminating the risk of third parties seeing the document.

Not only does this make life easier for individuals who need to notarize something, but it also provides convenience for the businesses that require the notarizations.

This saves both time and money and can be especially helpful if you live outside the area where we operate.
