About These Estimates
Processing times are based on state office published guidelines as of 2025. Actual times vary based on request volume, staffing, seasonal demand (December–March is typically 30–50% slower), and whether your application is complete and correctly submitted.
Mail estimates assume USPS first-class mail in both directions (2–3 days each way included)
In-person estimates assume you can travel to the county office in the state of the record
Online estimates include the service's stated processing window plus 2–3 days shipping
Expedited mail assumes correct payment of the expedite fee and clear marking on the envelope
Winter months (Dec–Mar): add 2–4 weeks to mail estimates for high-volume states
