For birth records, use EVVE (GN 00302.980). If not successful, the FO should write directly to the State to obtain birth records.
Make birth record requests using SSA-L706.
Requests for death records should be on SSA letterhead and must include name of decedent,
date of birth, and date of death. If exact date of death is unknown, provide a span
of years to be searched.
If SSA is paying for the record (i.e., requirements for SSA purchase in GN 00301.210 are met or verification required by enumeration policy), include a third party draft
payable to “New Mexico Vital Records.”
The parallel FO cannot follow up on any requests.
Can FO verify, certify, or obtain free copy of birth/death record? No
