🔎 Before You Submit Your Request

Please read this carefully so you understand how our record searches work.

All searches are billed per search

Each individual search requires time and access to multiple databases, so each one has its own fee.

Official certificates cost extra

Birth certificates, death certificates, marriage records, or any certified documents require an additional state or archive fee (usually $15–$40 depending on the state).
This fee is not included in the research search.

Some records are restricted by state law

Restricted documents may require:

  • Proof of identity

  • Proof of relationship

  • Signed authorization

  • Notarized authorization (in some cases)

  • A valid Power of Attorney (POA)

  • State Vital Records forms

We will notify you before any restricted-request steps are needed.

We can search for:

  • Indexes

  • Archive entries

  • Public databases

  • Newspaper mentions

  • Tribal rolls

📝 What to Include in Your Request
