Birth, Death, & Marriage Certificates

Processing time for vital records may take two to three business days to process.

For certified copies of birth, death or marriage certificates please fill out the associated application (PDF). A notarized sworn statement must be included with your application.

Napa County is also asking the public to use online and mail to transact business during this public health emergency. Each of our pages has links to our online forms and ways of obtaining certified copies. Vital records can be ordered using VitalChek online here.

You can obtain certified copies of birth, death and marriage certificates either in person, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. except legal holidays, or by submitting an application and notarized sworn statement by mail with a check or money order, or by ordering online with a credit card and faxing the notarized sworn statement.
