Many forms and documents can also be ordered online by using VitalChek. Alaska Vital Records Offices in Juneau and Anchorage will be available by phone Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm until further notice. When short-staffed, we must sometimes close to walk-in service from 1 – 2 pm. Thank you for your understanding! Due to staffing shortages, please expect delayed processing times: We cannot currently answer questions about the status of applications over the phone unless they have been pending for more than 8 weeks. If unable to visit our offices, you may still obtain certified copies of vital records by filling out an order form under "Order Certificates" in the right-hand column and sending it to us by mail, fax, or by using VitalChek. Please see our order forms for more information and instructions. As there may be long hold times, please look at the FAQs as well as the instructions on the form before calling our offices with questions. Thank you and we apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. The Health Analytics & Vital Records Section is responsible for administering vital records for events that occurred within the State of Alaska. Vital records include data from births, deaths, fetal deaths, divorces, and marriages, as well as reports of adoption, paternity, and amendments. Please note: Health Analytics and Vital Records has received calls regarding third party vendors selling birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates. These companies charge customers high fees to “process” or “help apply” for certificates issued from the Health Analytics and Vital Records Section. We encourage customers to order certified copies only from Health Analytics and Vital Records using the forms listed under the “order certificates” section on this page, or through our contracted vendor VitalChek. Please be advised that copies are available only for those events which have occurred in Alaska. Obtaining records for events occurring in other states may be found at the National Center for Health Statistics. Under Alaska law, all vital records are strictly confidential until they are released as public records after a set period of time: 100 years for births and 50 years for all other events. For additional information regarding Alaska vital records, please contact the Juneau Vital Records Office. For more information on hospitalizations visit the Health Data Reporting System (HDFR). For HFDR and Vital Statistics data tables and reports, please visit Data and Statistics. For information and data on cancer cases in Alaska please visit the Alaska Cancer Registry or contact cancerregistry@alaska.gov.
