Each person has a birth certificate and this is issued at the time of birth. Such record is used in a number of transactions in the government. Birth certificates are used as a valid proof of identification. There are also other kinds of documents available such as the marriage license, death certificates and divorce papers. There is also one type of document that has been opened to the public and that is the criminal records. This document contains information that is sensitive and used by authorized individuals when checking the background of an individual.

It is recommended to request for a copy of a public document at the office where the incident has been registered.

It is also important to indicate the personal information of the one who filed the request. This will be used only to document and track the access to the file.

The retrieval for each document is not for free and it would cost from $5 up to $50, depending on the request type. Requesting for the criminal record can cost more than any other documents since it contain confidential information.
