Mississippi Vital Records does not process credit cards. VitalChek, a private company, provides the following for Mississippi Vital Records:

• Secure ordering on-line or by phone
• Major credit card acceptance (American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa)
• Express shipping option

VitalChek offers convenient ordering and delivery, but adds a fee ($7.50) to the charge for a certified copy from MSDH ($15). To avoid additional fees, you can order from MSDH by mail.

Order On-Line

• Order on-line from the VitalChek website

  Note that VitalChek's online internet ordering system seems to default to delivery by UPS Air, which is an extra-cost option. If you do not need this service, please make sure you change this selection during the ordering process.

Order by Phone

• Order by phone from VitalChek by contacting the MSDH Vital records Office: 601-576-7981.
