Certified copies of Virginia vital records (birth, death, marriage, and divorce) are available for purchase at all full service DMV locations, which include DMV customer service centers and DMV 2 Go mobile offices.
You may request a certificate for yourself or next of kin/immediate family, which includes mother, father, current spouse, child, brother, or sister, and others under certain circumstances, with valid ID.
For more information on obtaining Virginia vital record documents, visit the VDH website at http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/Vital_Records/.
Eligible customers will leave DMV with the requested document in hand. If a vital record cannot be found or cannot be printed at DMV, DMV will immediately forward the customer's application to the Virginia Department of Health, Division of Vital Records (VDH) for further research. If available, VDH will mail the certificate(s) to the address on the application.
