VitalAmend
VitalChek® VitalAmend™
Digitally Submit Birth Certificate Amendment Requests
Streamline the process for amending birth certificates
Modifying existing birth certificates – such as name changes, spelling corrections, incorrect data or paternity change – is time-consuming for consumers and the agencies or vital records office responsible for executing the changes. Paper-based applications and manual data entry not only slow processing times but also increase the likelihood of errors. In many cases, consumers submit incomplete or incorrect forms, requiring back-and-forth consumer follow-up that creates further delays and disrupts workflow efficiency.
VitalChek® VitalAmend™ addresses these challenges directly. It replaces paper-based requests and manual processes with a secure, streamlined digital experience that helps you move birth certificate amendments forward faster and with greater accuracy.
Applicants are guided through an intuitive online workflow that promotes complete and correct submissions from the start. Your team spends less time correcting application errors or omissions and stays focused on statutory review and approval.
