It's possible to get uncertified copies but they take *much* longer to receive (at least 6 months I think).

From my past experience, you can get "informational" copies of vital records for $1.00. This is usually not published anywhere. And the time to receive an informational copy is no longer than waiting for a certified copy. Kathryn --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
