Why are scanned images not available for all records?
Only a portion of the records have been converted to digital image format at the present. Currently, approximately 10% of the death registrations and 75% of the marriage registrations are available for purchase in digital image format.
The British Columbia Vital Statistics Agency intends to digitize all records that have been publicly released on microfilm. The Vital Event Indexes will be updated periodically to reflect this.
