Who may request a record
Eligibility to receive a certified record is determined by the issuing agency and may be limited to the person named on the record or specific qualifying relatives and representatives.
What each Virginia record is used for
A certified birth certificate is most often requested as proof of identity, age, citizenship, and parentage, including for passports, REAL ID, school enrollment, and benefits claims.
A certified death certificate is most often requested to settle estates, claim insurance, close accounts, and notify government agencies.
A certified marriage certificate is most often requested for name changes, spousal benefits, immigration filings, and joint tax or property matters.
A divorce certificate or certified decree is most often requested to remarry, restore a former name, or update benefits and property records.
