Internet and Telephone Orders
If you choose, you may use your credit card to order a certified copy of your certificate over the Internet (online) or by telephone. You may also choose to have the copy returned to you by UPS. These services are made possible through a contract with VitalChek Network, Inc.
Fees:
VitalChek Processing Charge - $7.25 per transaction and includes all certificate copies requested.
UPS Return Delivery Charge (optional) - $12.00 per transaction to destinations within the continental United States; call VitalChek at 1-877-854-4481 for rates to other destinations.
Certified Copy Fee (Priority Handling) - Internet and telephone requests receive priority handling. The $45.00 fee for each certified copy of a birth, marriage, death or divorce certificate requested includes a $15.00 (per copy) priority handling fee.
Note:
The total cost of the New York State copy fee, priority handling fee, VitalChek processing charge and UPS charge (if applicable), will be posted to your credit card account.
You must use your own major credit card.
How long will it take?
Internet or telephone requests receive priority handling...
Yep, there it be.
This is a form to fill out on the Internet to request the COLB. You do not receive in return a digital image, I’m sure. They mail it to you or, alternately, send it via UPS. If it’s a digital image, then tell me how they would certify/emboss it? They can’t. Besides which, someone already said that they do NOT send “electronic” COLBs.
