Which record do you need?

We'll take it from here — just answer a few simple questions.

What is your relationship to the person named on the certificate?

Texas only issues recent records to certain people — this keeps you from paying for something the state would reject.

If that describes you, you're good to continue. If not, the state would reject the application — and we'd rather tell you now than take your $15.

About notarization

Texas requires mailed applications to be signed in front of a notary. That's why the signature boxes arrive empty.

Most banks, UPS stores, and libraries offer it — usually a few dollars. Your instruction sheet will mark exactly where to sign.
