The Census Bureau is changing how much it charges people to access certain historical records. An “Age Search” allows authorized individuals to receive an official transcript of age data from the decennial censuses conducted between 1910 and 2020.
Why it matters: This is a minor administrative change that updates service pricing to match inflation and operating expenses. It matters only to those who specifically need official census transcripts for genealogical or legal purposes.
Who it affects
- Individuals conducting genealogical research
This rule was issued by the Census Bureau; readers should consult the Federal Register before making financial decisions based on these rates.
