Have you ever attempted to access an official record of someone other than yourself? If you have, then you are probably aware that it can be very challenging – courts often demand detailed reasons why you need this record, the police will wonder why you need to have access to a prisoner’s crime list, and even a birth record requires you to be related to the person named on the certificate to even look at it.

But this is not the case with marriage certificates or divorce records.

If you are looking for birth certificates and death records for Lawrence County, Alabama, then there are a few things that you should first be aware of.
