Vital Records in Greenville County, South Carolina
"Vital records" generally means the documents that record major life events: births, deaths, and marriages. In South Carolina, these records are handled by different agencies depending on the record type, and Greenville County is not the single source for all of them. Knowing which office holds which record saves you time and helps you request a certified copy from the correct authority.
Importantly, this website is an informational resource only. It does not sell certified certificates, does not display copies of anyone's birth or death record, and cannot process orders. All requests must go through the official issuing agency described below. You should confirm every current fee, form, and processing detail directly with that agency before mailing anything.
