Vital Records

 

Welcome to the State of Rhode Island's Vital Records Online Request Service.

This service is managed and fulfilled by participating Rhode Island municipalities at this time.

You will need a credit card and a copy of a valid government issued ID.

Vital Records are birth, death, marriage, and civil union documents.

They are legal documents that contain information about the vital events of people in our society.

Certified copies of vital records are used for many purposes, such as:

  • To establish proof of age
  • Receive social security benefits
  • Receive death benefits from life insurance policies
