Vital records in Tennessee are maintained by the Tennessee Department of Health, where they issue certified copies of birth, death, marriage & divorce records. Once birth records reach 100 years old – and once death, marriage & divorce records reach 50 years old – they are sent to the Tennessee State Library and Archives for public access and family history research.
