Vital statistics records

The State Department of Health announced that, effective immediately, copies of birth and marriage certificates will be computer generated, rather than photocopied, as has been past practice. This change in policy is made pursuant to statutory restrictions on the disclosure of certain items of information eontained in vital records, and the computerization of birth and marriage records from 1909 to present.

Inquiries may be directed to Alvin Onaka, state registrar and chief of the Office of Health Status Monitoring, 586-4600.
