Fees for the following services related to vital records are in the amounts prescribed under Minnesota Statutes, section 144.226:
If a person requests multiple copies of a record or certified birth or death record in the same transaction, the fee for each additional copy of an identical record or certified birth or death record is $2, plus any applicable surcharges under Minnesota Statutes, section 144.226.
The fee for replacing a birth record following adoption is $20.
For a service that is not requested in person, a registrar may charge a fee of $20 to expedite the completion of a service related to a vital record if the requester wants the service completed faster than the service would be completed during the ordinary course of business. If a person is requesting multiple services related to the same record, the expedited fee is $20 for that record. If the person is requesting a service for multiple records, the expedited fee is multiplied by the number of records. A registrar must not expedite a service and must not accept or must refund an expedited fee if the applicable requirements of parts 4601.0100 to 4601.2600 are not met by the requester at the time of the request.
A registrar must charge a fee of $15 for a report that displays public birth or death data if the generation of that report is an automated feature of the electronic system of the state registrar. Data included in a report under this subpart are limited to one type of record, a time span of no greater than one year, and one county. Upon request, a registrar must provide a list of reports available.
