Vital records are maintained by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and are official records of births, deaths, marriages, and divorce.
When these documents are scanned at the local agency, the local agency must photocopy the original document, stamp the photocopy with “Administrative Use Only”, and scan the photocopy into the Electronic Case File (ECF). Originals must be returned to the parent.
Certificates of Naturalization and Certificates of Citizenship are not considered vital records but must be treated as vital records because they are official documents.
