Increased Processing Times and Mail-In Only Requests
All South Carolina Vital Statistics offices are experiencing longer than usual processing times due to REAL ID implementation. To get a certified copy of a birth or death that occurred in South Carolina, visit a local office or order online through authorized third-party vendors, VitalChek and GoCertificates.
To get a certified copy of a marriage or divorce that occurred in South Carolina, submit the request by mail. In-person and drop-off services for these requests are temporarily unavailable. See mail-in directions for a Marriage Certificate or Divorce Report.
