1. To the person who is the subject of the record; his/her child, spouse, parent, guardian, legal representative, or next of kin;
2. When there is a demonstrated need for the records for determination or protection of a personal or property right;
3. To an individual for research purposes, provided there is a research agreement in place;
4. To the federal agency responsible for collecting vital statistics information;
5. To federal, state or local agencies for official purposes;
