To reduce potential exposure of the novel coronavirus to vital records staff, and to keep staff from possibly infecting the public, please avoid in-person visits to the Vital Records Office lobbies unless absolutely necessary.
Visiting the Anchorage office will now be by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, please either call 907-269-0991 or email hss.havrs.issuance@alaska.gov.
Please arrive with your order forms printed and filled out. They are available on our website in the column on the right of the page. If you do not have access to a printer, please arrive at least 5 minutes early for your appointment to fill out the forms.
If you do visit one of our offices in person, please wear a mask. A July 22, 2020 memorandum from Governor Dunleavy requires visitors to State of Alaska facilities to wear a facemask if social distancing of at least six feet or more between individuals cannot be maintained. This applies to entryways, hallways, stairwells, elevators, enclosed parking areas, and personal offices where a six-foot distance cannot be exercised.
