Identification is needed for birth or death certificate requests. Click here for information about ID requirements. If an FO employee is the requester, see GN 00308.001B.3. for acceptable forms of identification. The State office does not have copies of marriage or divorce records; it only has an index of records since 1958. Marriage and divorce records are kept at the county level. Requests should be directed to the SSA office servicing the county that issued the marriage license and the county where the divorce occurred.

Can FO verify, certify or obtain free copy of birth/death record? FO 455 can verify and certify birth/death records, but it cannot obtain free copies of these documents. Requests can be made by e562 or paper SSA-562. The paper SSA-562 can be faxed (317-226-6665) to the office or mailed to the office at this address:

Federal Bldg., Room 685

575 N. Pennsylvania St.

Indianapolis, IN 46204

The turnaround time is within two weeks. It takes 10 weeks before a birth record is recorded with the State. Do not send requests to FO 455 before the 10-week mark.
