Vital Records Fees to Increase
DENVER – The fee for a single copy of a vital record –
birth or death certificates – will increase from $15 to $17 effective
July 1, 2006. The cost of each additional copy of the same vital record
purchased at the same time will increase from $6 to $10. The fee
increase applies at the State Vital Records Office and at all county
registrar offices. Vital record fees were last increased in 1995. All
other fees will remain unchanged. The fees are increasing to cover the
additional costs of security processes to help prevent identification
theft.
Computer-generated certified copies of birth
certificates for Colorado births occurring since January 1, 1904, may be
obtained from the State Vital Records Office in Denver or from county
registrar offices in Alamosa, Bent, Boulder, Broomfield, Crowley, Delta,
Denver, Eagle, Elbert, El Paso, Fremont, Garfield, Grand, Gunnison,
Jefferson, Kit Carson, Lake, La Plata, Larimer, Las Animas, Logan, Mesa,
Montezuma, Montrose, Morgan, Park, Pueblo, Rio Grande, San Miguel,
Summit, Teller, Washington, Weld and Yuma counties, or at the Tri-County
Health Department in Englewood. County offices not listed have access
only to records of persons born within the county that the office
serves. The State Vital Records Office, located at 4300 Cherry Creek
Drive South in Denver, can issue certified copies of births occurring
anywhere in Colorado from 1904 to the present.
