Official Travel Documents

Official Travel Documents is a service developed to help international travelers obtain the necessary travel documents in time for their trip. Applications for New, Minor, or Lost/Stolen Passports require proof of U.S. citizenship, typically in the form of a certified copy of the applicant's U.S. birth certificate. Official Travel Documents' reliable, convenient and secure service enables travelers to easily order birth certificate services online.

Please note, neither Official Travel Documents nor LexisNexis® has access to birth certificates; rather, VitalChek facilitates the order and fulfillment of vital records by the government agencies that maintain them.
