Maine Vital Records Law Takes Effect
A new law signed in April that restricts access to certain vital records takes effect on Monday, July 12. Bangor City Clerk Patti Dubois said her office, as all municipalities across the state, is gearing up for the changes that are designed to deter fraudulent use of vital records. “It’s certainly going to take more time for people because we have to verify identity and in some cases confirm lineage,” said Dubois, whose office handles 15,000 vital record requests a year. “People can call ahead to avoid issues.”
Until LD 1781 was passed, Maine was one of a handful of states that allowed anyone access to public records...(Bangor Daily News)
