Information for Iowa:
To secure a certified copy of a record from the county-of-event, applicants must have direct or tangible interest in the record. In other words, you must be the registrant (person named on the record) or have a lineal relationship to the registrant, such as a legal parent, grandparent, spouse, brother, sister, child, legal guardian, or legal representative. All requests or applications for each certificate must be in writing and include the purpose for the certificate. County registrars do not have code authority to have the following on record: 1) Single-parent births prior to July 1, 1995; 2) Adoptions; 3) Any record ordered seal by a court of law; 4) Birth, death, and marriage records between the years 1921 to 1941.
