Key facts

  • Tennessee's vital records office issues certificates only for events (births, deaths, marriages) registered in Tennessee — apply to the state where the event happened, not the state you live in now.
  • $15 per copy for a birth, death, marriage, or divorce certificate.
  • Personal check or money order payable to "Tennessee Vital Records."
  • Include a photocopy of a valid, signed government-issued photo ID.
  • Mailed applications take longer than online orders because processing only starts once the envelope arrives — allow extra time if you need the certificate for a passport, estate, or other deadline.
  • PostPal prints your completed application and mails it to Tennessee Vital Records the next business day — no printer, envelope, or trip to the post office.

    Address the envelope to the vital records office
