Drop Box Option for Vital Record Orders
The Center for Health Statistics is offering another option for the public to order or amend a vital record certificate. Customers may now submit order forms or amendment documents along with other required materials into a secure drop box located at the Portland State Office Building in Northeast Portland (800 NE Oregon Street - Portland, OR 97232). This process is similar to submitting information through the mail, but with a shorter processing time.
Oregon Vital Records that may be ordered are birth, death, marriage, divorce, Oregon registered domestic partnership, dissolution of domestic partnership, certificate of stillbirth and preadoption birth records.
Those requesting a certificate or amendment of record will need to include the following in a sealed envelope:
- Order form with signature
- Photocopy of valid ID or alternative ID documents
- Payment (check or money order, no cash)
Amendments may require additional material. Please visit the Making Changes or Amendments to Vital Records page or email CHS.Amendments@state.or.us for more detailed instructions for the amendment process.
The drop box will be emptied multiple times a day. Orders that are received by drop box will take an estimated five to seven business days for processing before mailing. If a record problem is discovered or any information is missing, the processing will be delayed.
For additional information on the process for ordering a vital record by using the drop box or its location, please visit the Order by Using the Drop Box webpage.
