Individual state and province Wiki articles for "Vital Records" or "Civil Registration" also have addresses of where to write. Two publications that list addresses for obtaining vital records are:


*''Where to Write for Vital Records: Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Divorces'' (for the United States only). Hyattsville, Md.: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, March 1993. Some addresses and fees are outdated. This booklet can be purchased from the Super-intendent of Documents, U.S.government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9328.
Individual state and province Wiki articles for "Vital Records" or "Civil Registration" also have addresses of where to write. The easiest place to learn how to obtain up-to-date vital records information such as email addresses, fees, and ordering instructions is on the Internet using a search engine like Google for "('''''Name of the State''''') '''Vital Records'''".  
*Kemp, Thomas J. ''Vital Records Handbook, 3rd ed''. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1994. (FHL book 973 V24k 1994.) This includes samples of application forms that can be sent to government offices to request copies of vital records. It also provides telephone numbers for ordering for most offices. Payment by bank card is generally accepted.
