To comply with state and federal laws, certain genealogy requests require proper authorization before we can search, request, or obtain restricted documents (such as modern birth certificates, death certificates, or marriage records).

Please complete and submit our Authorization to Release Information & Request Vital Records Form if:

• You are requesting restricted records

• You want us to act on your behalf with a state or archive

• A government office requires proof of permission

• You are authorizing Nativa Genealogy to assist with document retrieval

This helps us legally obtain documents on your behalf and ensures your personal information is protected.
