BRENTWOOD, Tenn., July 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VitalChek Network Inc.
( http://www.vitalchek.com ), a ChoicePoint(R) (NYSE: CPS) company and
America's leading source for government-issued birth certificates and other
vital records, has signed a contract with the Connecticut Department of Public
Health State Vital Records office to administer expedited requests for birth
certificate, death certificate, marriage and civil union records. VitalChek
will also handle all expedited applications Connecticut receives by mail.
This is the second time that VitalChek has secured an agreement to process a
state's mail requests, in addition to phone and Internet orders. The first
was New Jersey's state registrar's office.

government records, VitalChek makes it safe and convenient to order official
copies of vital record documents. The VitalChek system includes safeguards
that protect the privacy of customers and help prevent fraud and identity
theft. These safeguards will be followed, along with Connecticut's laws and
requirements for access to assure confidentiality and security.
"The services we provide for the Connecticut vital records office include
collecting, processing and authenticating vital record applications and all
related follow-up work," said Billy Burns, VitalChek's vice president of
strategic sales. "Now, no matter how orders are received, everyone will have
access to secure and expedited service."
