VitalChek Advisory

IMPORTANT: VitalChek users please be advised! Your certificate order WILL NOT BE PROCESSED without the return of the "sworn statement" sent to you as an attachment with your order confirmation email.  You may fax or email the completed sworn statement back to the Clerk Recorder’s office to avoid delays. You can access the VitalChek website using the linked image below.
