New ID requirements: Due to the rise in identity theft and other fraudulent use of vital records, the credit card you are using to place the order must be in your name. The cardholder's name and address will be verified. You will also be asked to provide your social security number or driver's license number.

• Credit card internet requests are processed within three business days after our office receives the request.

• The only means available for making an internet request is by accessing the web site of VitalChek, the company with which our office contracts to provide credit card service. Click here to access VitalChek's web site (www.vitalchek.com). A U. S. map will be displayed. Click on the state of Kansas.

• There is an additional $9.00 expedited service fee for credit card requests which is charged by VitalChek.

• The VitalChek site provides the option for a paper certified birth certificate copy or a *wallet-size birth registration card. Please be aware of the following when making this selection:

*Wallet-size birth registration cards: Wallet-size cards are not available for Delayed Certificates of Birth or Foreign Born Births. They cost the same as paper certified copies and are a laminated card. The information listed on them is limited and therefore, they may not be acceptable for travel purposes, school enrollment, or for any office/agency requiring parental information and/or a raised seal. They contain the following information:

• Certificate Number
• Name
• Birth Date
• Birth Place (county)
• Sex
• Date Filed
• Date Issued

A certification statement and stamped signature of the State Registrar are included. The seal is in ink and is not raised on the cards.
