Terms of Use

Last updated: January 1, 2026.

By using VitalRecordsHub you agree to the following terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Not a government agency

VitalRecordsHub is an independent informational website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States government, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Social Security Administration, any state Department of Health, any county clerk, any superior or probate court, or any commercial third-party vendor (including VitalChek). Nothing on this site is an official government publication.

2. No legal advice

Our content is provided for general information only. It is not legal advice, immigration advice, tax advice, or guidance about your individual situation. If you need help with a legal matter — for example, an apostille, a court-sealed record, an adoption record, or a name change — consult a licensed attorney in the relevant jurisdiction.

3. Accuracy and changes

We try hard to keep state offices, fees, addresses, and processing times current. We cannot guarantee that any specific detail is accurate at the moment you read it. Fees in particular change without notice. Always confirm current fees and procedures on the official issuing agency's website before mailing a check or visiting an office. We are not liable for losses caused by reliance on outdated or incorrect information.

4. Permitted use

You may read, link to, print, and quote short factual excerpts from this site for personal, educational, journalistic, or research purposes, provided you credit VitalRecordsHub and do not imply endorsement. Bulk scraping, redistribution of substantial portions of the site, and incorporation of our directory into a competing product require prior written permission.

5. External links

The site contains links to government and third-party websites. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. The presence of a link is not an endorsement of any product or service offered there.

6. Advertising

This site displays third-party advertising. Advertisements are served by independent ad networks based on standard ad-tech signals; their appearance is not an endorsement, and the placement of an ad next to particular content is incidental.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Use of the site is at your own risk.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VitalRecordsHub and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted briefly on the homepage. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

10. Contact

Questions about these terms can be sent to the address on the contact page.
