January 13, 2011
St. Charles County, MO
If you need copies of your family’s birth or death certificates, the St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment offers a convenient solution. The department provides certified copies of these important documents for a small fee through its Vital Records office at 1650 Boone’s Lick Road in St. Charles.
“We offer this service for all Missourians — whether they’re St. Charles County residents or not — as a convenient means for obtaining these documents that have increased in importance with recent federal and state requirements,” said Director Gil Copley. “Now that proof of identity is required to travel abroad and to renew a driver’s license, it is even more important that an individual has an accurate and certified copy of their birth certificate. By visiting our website and downloading the application or by completing the application in person in our office, a citizen can obtain most Missouri birth or death certificates from us in just a few minutes.”
To obtain these records from the Department of Community Health and the Environment, an
individual or family member must complete a signed application and then present proper photo
identification when picking up the certificate. Birth records can be obtained for any immediate family
member born in Missouri since 1920. Death certificates are available for any family member’s death
that occurred in Missouri since 1980. For added convenience, the customer may download the
application at www.scchealth.org, mail it to the department with the appropriate fee and pick it up at a
later date. For information about this convenient service, please call 636-949-7558.
Applications are accepted from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays), at the department’s office. Copies of birth certificates are $15, and death certificates are $13 ($10 for each additional death certificate copy ordered at the same time). The Department of Community Health and the Environment accepts cash, money orders, and checks (with proper identification) for payment of these records.
The St. Charles County Department of Community Health and the Environment is committed to the protection and enhancement of health and the quality of life for all members of our community. To discover ways the department assists this region, please visit www.scchealth.org or call 636-949-7400.
