New York State Vital Records Info
I'm wondering what's up with the vital records office in Chemung County?!?  I ordered death certificates in July and received them all without incident within a week.  When I ordered another bundle in August, they sent my order back and claimed that personal checks were not accepted.  Was there a change in policy or did my order just reach an irritable clerk?  And if I can't send a check, what am I supposed to do?

Hi Ellen and List,
I just called the Chemung Co. Vital Statistics regarding the personal checks.  The nice woman said that so many checks bounce and are uncollectible that about a year ago they stopped taking personal checks.
She said that they would accept Bank Certified Checks or Money Orders Also Albany had mandated that a photo copy of an ID be sent with the information wanted.  This is for security reasons even for the 1800's.

Dear Joyce,

I read the information from a couple of people who dealt with the NY Vital Statistics on your website page http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychemun/cvitals.htm.

Thought I would share my experience.  In July 2003 I sent for two death certificates for my paternal grandmother and great grandmother.  I sent a photo copy of my drivers license for proof of who I was along with two personal checks $11 each.   In November 2003 they cashed both checks.  Now one year later July 2004 much to my joy both death certificates finally came in the mail. The downside was having to wait a whole year.
Regards,
Cheryl Roan
