As more people switch to online digital solutions, integrating a simple, reliable, and safe online notarization service for obtaining vital records replacements is a convenience that saves people valuable time and money.
Vital Records Online Adds Notarize Integration for Streamlining Vital Record Replacements
We are excited to talk about the success of integrating Notarize, the leading service for online notarizations, into our vital record ordering process.
Obtaining a birth certificate replacement is incredibly important if yours is lost or missing. Not only are birth certificates vital to have, but they are often necessary when applying for other vital records replacements. Suppose you live in a state that requires notarization for this process – it’s a necessary but lengthy and inconvenient task in the process that traditionally had to be completed in-person, face-to-face. Conveniently, our system utilizes Notarize.com for a seamless ordering process that’s available anytime, anywhere from any device.
Certain States and Municipalities Require Notarizations for Birth, Death, and Marriage Certificate Replacements
California, Texas, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, and New York City require notarizations for vital record replacements. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people turned to online alternatives to avoid visiting physical locations and completing tasks in-person, face-to-face. It has been more complicated to do things in person with closures, reduced staff availability, and lockdowns than ever before. As we move into a post-pandemic world, many local and state offices are still trying to catch up on the backlog of requests after reduced staff availability during the crisis. Digital solutions that can be done online from home are a fantastic solution to keep life moving forward amid constraints.
Why Do I Need My Vital Record Application Notarized?
While passports and birth certificates are commonly accepted forms of identity verification, there are cases when vital record applications require notarization. The purpose is to further verify your identity and get consent from a signer.
A common scenario from one Vital Records Online customer, Tom Gardner, who needed a certified copy of his birth certificate — but he only had a photocopy. He found VitalRecordsOnline.com and completed his application online in just a few minutes. Afterward, he shared his story with us and stated,
“Everything happened the way they said it would. It was totally easy. Even the notary setup. I was completely happy. Wow!”
~Tom Gardner, Vital Records Online customer
