AUSTIN, Texas -- (Business Wire)
With kindergarten roundup approaching for school districts across Texas,
parents of children entering school for the first time can order a
certified birth certificate via the Texas.gov
Online Vital Records Application. This official service, offered in
conjunction with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS),
provides easy-to-follow instructions in English or Spanish for a secure
and convenient experience.
The price of an online birth certificate is $22 per record, the same as
a walk-in or mail order, and is generally less expensive than other
third-party online sources. DSHS fulfills all online vital record
orders, and most orders are processed within 10 to 15 business days.
Marriage and divorce verifications, as well as certified death
certificates, can also be ordered through this online service.
The response from those who have already used the online vital records
application has been very positive with comments such as, “Just want
to say thank you to DSHS for making ordering a birth certificate for my
son an easy process,” and “I cannot think of a single
improvement to the online birth certificate ordering process. It was
simple and straightforward. Thank you for keeping the process from being
cumbersome!”
For a demonstration on how to order a vital record online, visit the Texas.gov
YouTube channel where you can watch a short
video with step-by-step instructions.
Texas.gov
is a great place to complete many other government services online, too
– pay
CHIP enrollment fees, renew
a vehicle registration or driver
license, order
driver records, and much
more. With 1,000+ online services, secure payment processing, and
friendly 24/7 customer service, make things easier on yourself and your
schedule by taking it online with Texas.gov.
Consumer Alert: To safely take care of your government business
online, beware of unofficial, look-alike websites operated by private
organizations that may charge unnecessary fees for services or
information. Instead, make sure you are using the state’s official
website, http://www.texas.gov,
or an official state agency website to complete your online transaction.
To access an official website, enter the URL in the address bar at the
top of your Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox,
Google Chrome, etc.) instead of entering the address in a search engine
bar (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.). Also, look for the .gov or .state.tx.us
extension in the URL, which will be present in the URLs of all official
Texas state government websites.
