Fulton Vital Records Office Celebrates Relocation

ATLANTA, GA -- Fulton County leaders came together late last week to host a ribbon cutting celebrating the relocation of the Vital Records Office.

The new office was dedicated Friday, April 14 during the ceremony attended by officials and employees from the county as well as the Georgia Department of Public Health.

Fulton County leadership, including Commission Chairman John Eaves, County Manager Dick Anderson and Fulton Health District Director Dr. Kathleen Toomey, emphasized the updated technology and enhanced office atmosphere that "will provide a better customer service experience for the clients and an enhanced working environment for county employees," the agency said.

On any given day, 500 clients visit the office to use its services while another 200 prefer the comfort of online accessibility, Eaves said.

“Our average wait time went from 30 minutes in the old Aldredge location, and will now average 10 minutes here in the new office,” Anderson added.

The Fulton County Vital Records Office moved from the Aldredge Health Center to a spacious office on the first floor of the Fulton County Government Center, 141 Pryor Street S.W. Suite 1029A in downtown Atlanta.

Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The Fulton County Government Center is accessible via Five Point MARTA rail and several MARTA buses. Public parking is available nearby.
