What this is

CivicBases is a nonpartisan civic information platform. We research, verify, and publish plain-language guides to civic processes — starting with voter registration and birth certificates — for every state in the United States.

Every piece of information on this platform is sourced directly from official government documents. We cite our sources, note when information was last verified, and link to the primary source so you can confirm it yourself.

We are not affiliated with any government agency, political party, or advocacy organization. We don't editorialize. We don't tell you what to do with the information — we just make sure it's accurate and easy to understand.

Our principles
01
Primary sources only
Every fact is sourced from official government documents. No third-party summaries, no secondary interpretation.
02
Strictly nonpartisan
We cover all states equally, with identical depth and no editorial framing. We don't advocate, editorialize, or take positions.
03
Plain language
Government language is complex. We translate it into plain English without losing accuracy. If it's ambiguous, we say so.
04
Free to use
All information on CivicBases.org is free for individuals. No registration, no paywalls, no tricks.
How it works

CivicBases.org is the portal layer of the platform. It gives you a quick overview of civic requirements for any state, then routes you to one of our dedicated product sites — GetRegistered.US for voter registration and GetBirthCertificate.US for birth certificates — where you'll find the full step-by-step guide.

Each product site contains detailed, state-specific instructions, official forms, mailing addresses, processing times, and links to every official source we used. All information is reviewed and updated regularly.

We verify every piece of information by going directly to the official government source — the Secretary of State's office, the Department of Vital Records, or the relevant agency — before publishing.
