- SUBJECT:
- IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN MISSOURI VITAL RECORDS
DISCUSSION:
Effective March 1, 2011, the Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of Vital Records (BVR) began requiring an individual to present identification when requesting vital records, including birth and death records. The requirements are designed to ensure that vital records are provided as permitted by law, as well as to maintain the security of BVR documents.
BVR asked the Family Support Division, along with other government agencies, for assistance in providing the public with information about the new identification requirements through the attached flyer and postcard. Please print and display the flyer and make the postcard available in appropriate public areas in your offices.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review with appropriate staff.
