NEWS RELEASE
St. Louis County to Open New Vital Records Office
St. Louis County Commissioner Keith Nelson and County Recorder Mark A. Monacelli will mark the opening of the new Virginia Vital Records Office on Friday, October 12, 2007 at 1:30 PM at the St. Louis County Courthouse in Virginia, Minnesota. A ribbon cutting will be held and treats will be served for this event, which is free and open to the public.
The grand opening of the new Virginia Vital Records office completes several years of planning that involved transferring the vital records function from the District Court to the County Recorder’s office. In June of 2006 a Vital Records satellite office was opened in the St. Louis County Courthouse located in Hibbing.
“The opening of the Virginia office will provide citizens in Virginia and surrounding areas better access to birth, death records and marriage licenses,” said Sixth District St. Louis County Commissioner Keith Nelson. “These important services will be conveniently available to them in their own community.”
The office is located the St. Louis County Courthouse, 300 South 5th Avenue, Virginia, Minnesota, Room 105. The office will be open from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Additional vital record information can be found at the St. Louis County website at www.co.st-louis.mn.us.
