Vital Records Management

Built around the ecosystem it serves.

Every GovFolio service is shaped by the people in it. For vital records, that means connecting individuals, the hospitals, marriage officers, funeral homes, courts, and coroners that hold the source records, the municipality that registers them, and the people and agencies who request certified copies — so registrations, verifications, and certificates move along the workflow you already run.

The workflow
Registrations, verifications, and certified copies advance through one shared chain.

Before & After

LifeCycle | Vital Records

Before LifeCycle

Manual, backlogged, and hard to defend

  • Citizens hand in paper; your staff re-key the same details at every office
  • Hospitals, funeral homes, and courts feed into backlogs your team has to clear
  • Copy requests mean counter queues, phone calls, and six-week turnarounds you field the complaints for
  • Every regulation change means custom work on a fragile legacy system
LifeCycle — the manual, paper-based vital records process
LifeCycle — one connected digital vital records record

  • Online Ordering of Certificates

VitalRecords brings every life event into a single system. Hospitals, medical examiners, funeral homes, and court officials report births, deaths, stillbirths, marriages, and adoptions online through smart forms, while automated workflows handle processing and statistics and apply the privacy rules specific to each. Amendments and corrections are managed with governance tools that keep records clean, and residents can order certified copies online — fulfilled directly through the issuing agency.

Creation of Authenticated Certificates

Customized workflows automate the creation of authenticated vital certificates with QR code, file number and authentication code. The authenticity of the certificates can be verified at issuing Government website by scanning the QR Code printed on the certificates. The same can also be checked by entering a unique file number or authentication code printed at the bottom of the certificates.

Reporting & Business Intelligence Analytics

Integrated reporting tools use the data and metrics gathered through the digitization of forms and processes to provide department-wide insight about performance, timeliness, and more. Identify reports that are critical to management and have them automatically run at preferred intervals.
