Vital Records requests to be handled by Chaffee County Public Health (CCPH)
Effective Tuesday, May 23, the City of Salida will no longer be issuing Vital Records requests for Chaffee County. This service will now be managed by Chaffee County Public Health (CCPH).
Vital Records include birth and death certificates
The public may make an appointment to request Certified Birth or Certified Death certificates at https://ChaffeeCountyVitalRecords.rsvpify.com or call 719-539-4501 during regular business hours. CCPH will not be accepting public walk-ins at this time. Vital Record appointments will be held on Tuesdays from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30pm, Wednesdays from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Requesters will need currently valid identification and proof of their relationship to the person’s record being requested. Details of acceptable identification and relationship proof can be found on the application forms. Application forms will be located on the RSVPIFY website, the Chaffee County website under Public Health, or at CCPH’s office at 448 East First Street, Suite 137.
Customers who wish to order certificates online must first register their email address at the State of Colorado secure email portal and after validation, use the provided link to access https://securemail.state.co.us/ to send requests to hrussell@chaffeecounty.org.
