TENNESSEE VRISM

The purpose of the Tennessee Vital Records Information system Management (VRISM) is to support the registration of Tennessee vital events for the Tennessee Department of Health. The system may be used only for the purpose for which it is provided. Any attempt to file a fraudulent vital event is punishable in accordance with Tennessee statutes.

By accessing this system, I agree to use this system only for the purpose of registering and/or issuing a vital record for events occurring in the state of Tennessee. The TCA defines "vital record" as "certificates or reports of birth, death, marriage, divorce or annulment and other records related thereto." (68-3-102 (17))

I understand that failure to adhere to the above agreement will result in loss of access to the VRISM system. Any unauthorized access, misuse and/or disclosure of information may result in disciplinary action including, but not limited to, suspension or loss of individual or facility access privileges, an action for civil damages, or criminal charges.
