Digital Issuance
While vital records are the current backbone of identity issuance in a paper-world, they are not yet incorporated into a digital one. It is essential that the vital records community continue to lead these efforts, to evolve, adapt, and respond to the growing demand for digital services, despite the challenges before us.Â
As NAPHSIS prioritizes this initiative, for vital records to move into the digital world, the membership is driving this forward into actionable next steps that are reasonable to achieve. This will be a pivotal shift in how vital records are accessed for future generations to come. Stay tuned for ongoing progress and updates as work continues.Â

Digital Identity Working Groups
As part of our ongoing efforts to modernize vital records, five specialized working groups have been established. Each group focuses on a key area necessary for the successful digital issuance of vital records.
