Let's say I don't have my marriage record or birth certificate anymore. What should I do then?
The New York State Department of Health Vital Records office can help you with obtaining vital records in the state. Alternatively, you can order vital records online from New York and many other states through an independent partner, VitalChek Network Inc., at vitalchek.com .
I see. And what if I attended school at a community college?
Then you may have received a General Educational Development GED certificate. You can contact the college for a certified copy.
