Florida Request For Copies is an online service provided by the Florida Department of State to request copies of vital records such as birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates, and divorce records. The service is available to anyone who needs to obtain a copy of a vital record from the State of Florida. There are two types of Florida Request For Copies: Certified Copy Request and Informational Copy Request. Certified Copy Request is used to obtain an official copy of a vital record for legal purposes and requires the applicant to provide a photo ID. Informational Copy Requests are used to obtain an unofficial copy of a vital record for non-legal purposes and do not require the applicant to provide a photo ID. Both types of requests require the applicant to provide the necessary information to request the copy, including the full name of the person whose record is being requested, and the date and place of the event.
