📣Please note that effective July 1, 2026, the fee for certified copies of vital records in Iowa will increase from $15 to $20 per copy. This includes certified copies of birth, death, and marriage records.

The process for obtaining certified copies will remain the same, and the marriage application fee will remain $35.

The additional revenue generated from this fee adjustment will help support increased workload and associated costs at the State Medical Examiner’s Office.

If you have questions regarding certified copies or applications, please contact the Recorder’s Office.

‼️Further clarification from Iowa Dept. of Revenue‼️

✔️Effective immediately Recorders are required to provide the 57-019 (Sales Condition Reporting) form along with the DOV to the public. The hope is that by 7/1 all involved in the use of this form will have the new details and the transition will be smooth.
✔️Recorders are NOT REQUIRED to refuse a filing if they do not submit this new form in a ‘deed package.’
✔️Effective 7/1/2026, the DOV is not required for exceptions 14, 15, and 22.
✔️Effective 1/1/2027, the DOV exception 23 is an added option.
