Quick answer: what the Fairfax County Health Department handles
The Fairfax County Health Department is the local public health department serving the Fairfax Health District. Its main information line is 703-246-2411, and the clinic call center is 703-246-7100. The administration office is at 10777 Main Street, Fairfax, VA 22030, but clinic services are not offered at that administration address.
For everyday users, the Health Department can help with public health centers and clinic appointments, immunizations, pregnancy testing, maternity intake, HIV testing, STI testing, tuberculosis testing, newcomer health screening, vital records, WIC, communicable disease reporting, rabies questions, Environmental Health, food safety, food inspections, food permits, public swimming pools, onsite sewage and water, disease-carrying insects, school health, public health emergency preparedness and health alerts.
The most important rule is simple: call the correct program first. A person ordering a birth certificate does not need the same route as a parent scheduling school vaccines. A food truck operator should not call the WIC line. A restaurant complaint should not go to a general clinic appointment line. A communicable disease report should not wait in a normal customer-service queue if urgent reporting is required.

Fairfax County birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates
The Fairfax County Office of Vital Records issues certified copies of Virginia vital records for certain events. The official page lists records for Virginia births from June 1912 to present, Virginia deaths from June 1912 to present, Virginia marriages from 1936 to present, and Virginia divorces from 1918 to present.
Vital records are available as a walk-in service only. Appointments are not available. Services are offered Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and all offices are closed for lunch between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. The fee is $12 for each certificate and/or search. If a search does not locate the record, the initial $12 search fee still applies and the request may be sent to the Virginia Department of Health Division of Vital Records in Richmond for processing.
| Vital-record task | Fairfax County detail | Important warning |
|---|---|---|
| Birth certificate | Virginia births from June 1912 to present. | Fairfax County does not provide Special Use Birth Certificates, also called long-form certificates. Use Virginia Department of Health for that need. |
| Death certificate | Virginia deaths from June 1912 to present. | Starting Dec. 1, 2025, a $12 fee applies to exchanges of three or more updated death certificates; the first two exchanges remain free. |
| Marriage certificate | Virginia marriages from 1936 to present. | You must know required information such as spouse names, exact date, place of marriage and court that issued the license. |
| Divorce certificate | Virginia divorces from 1918 to present. | A divorce certificate is not the same as a divorce decree. Divorce decrees come from the courthouse where the divorce was filed. |
| Fee | $12 for each certificate and/or search. | A search fee applies even if the local office cannot locate the record. |
| Eligibility | Records are available to the person named and immediate family members with valid identification, plus legal representatives with documentation. | Aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and former spouses cannot get vital-record copies through this route. |
Vital records locations in Fairfax County

Vital records checklist
- Confirm the event happened in Virginia. Fairfax County vital records offices issue Virginia records, not records from another state.
- Confirm the record type and year. Birth and death records are listed from June 1912. Marriage records are listed from 1936. Divorce records are listed from 1918.
- Bring required identification. You need one primary ID or two secondary IDs under Virginia Department of Health requirements.
- Bring exact details. Names, dates, locations and court information matter, especially for marriage and divorce certificates.
- Avoid lunch closure. Vital-record offices are closed from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.
- Do not expect a phone search. The county states that records are not searched over the phone because certificates are not preprinted.
Fairfax County can issue certified copies of certain Virginia vital records, but it cannot issue every record type or perform every correction. Birth certificate corrections and Special Use Birth Certificates route through the Virginia Department of Health. Divorce decrees come from the courthouse where the divorce was filed, not the Health Department.
Clinics, immunizations, maternity intake, STI/HIV testing and TB services
Fairfax County Health Department clinic services include pregnancy testing, maternity services, HIV testing, sexually transmitted infection testing, tuberculosis testing, immunizations, newcomer health screening and referral assistance. The clinic call center is 703-246-7100. The county states that appointments are encouraged and can be made by calling the clinic number, with walk-in hours available for select services.
Clinic services are not offered at the administration office on Main Street. This is a major point for users who search “Fairfax County Health Department near me” and drive to the first address they see. Call the clinic center first, especially if you need immunizations, TB testing, STI/HIV testing, maternity intake or newcomer health screening.
Clinic services may include
- Immunizations.
- Pregnancy testing.
- Maternity intake.
- HIV testing.
- STI testing.
- Tuberculosis testing and treatment.
- Newcomer health screening.
- Referral assistance.
Before a clinic visit
- Call 703-246-7100 to make an appointment.
- Ask which public health center to visit.
- Bring photo ID if requested.
- Bring vaccine records, school forms or travel documents for immunizations.
- Bring insurance, Medicaid or payment information if the program requests it.
- Ask whether telehealth is available for your service.
Immunization appointment help
Fairfax County Health Department clinics provide immunization services, including school-related vaccines and back-to-school clinics when scheduled. The county and Fairfax County Public Schools direct families to call 703-246-7100 for immunization appointments at local public health centers. Do not assume every vaccine is walk-in or available at every location.
STI, HIV and TB testing help
For STI, HIV and TB testing, call 703-246-7100. Ask whether your service is appointment-only, whether walk-in hours apply, which public health center provides the service, what documents you need and whether there is a fee. If you have symptoms, exposure concerns, test-result questions or partner-notification questions, say that clearly at the beginning of the call.
Fairfax County WIC offices and family nutrition support
The Fairfax County Health Department administers WIC in the Fairfax Health District. WIC supports pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, infants and children under age five with nutrition support, health referrals, education and breastfeeding help. For all WIC appointments and questions, call 703-246-5599.
The county lists multiple WIC locations. Because some public health centers and service locations have changed during construction and transition projects, the safest route is to call WIC before visiting. Ask which WIC office is closest to your home and whether your appointment is in-person or remote.
| WIC location | Address | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Annandale Public Health Center | 7611 Little River Turnpike, Suite 301-E, Annandale, VA 22003 | 703-246-5599 |
| Inova Cares Clinic for Women | 6400 Arlington Boulevard, Suite 148, Falls Church, VA 22042 | 703-246-5599 |
| Herndon-Reston Public Health Center | 1850 Cameron Glen Drive, Suite 100, Reston, VA 20190 | 703-246-5599 |

| Herndon Neighborhood Resource Center | 1086 Elden Street, Herndon, VA 20170 | 703-246-5599 |
| Mount Vernon Public Health Center | 8350 Richmond Highway, Suite 233, Alexandria, VA 22309 | 703-246-5599 |

| Fort Belvoir, military community only | 5965 6th Street, Building 1263, Fort Belvoir, VA 22060 | 703-246-5599 |
WIC appointment checklist
- Call 703-246-5599. Ask which WIC location should handle your appointment.
- Ask what documents are required. WIC usually needs identity, residency and income or benefit information.
- Tell staff if you are pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding or applying for a child. Eligibility and appointment needs can differ.
- Ask about remote appointment options. Limited remote appointments may be available depending on the service and situation.
- Do not rely on old Joseph Willard location information. WIC services transitioned away from Joseph Willard during the construction project.
Communicable disease, rabies, public health alerts and emergency preparedness
Communicable Disease Reporting and Investigation can be reached at 703-246-2433. This route is important for medical providers, schools, facilities and others who need to report certain diseases, outbreak concerns or public health exposures. For general clinic appointments, use 703-246-7100 instead.
Rabies and animal exposure public-health questions also commonly route through Health Department epidemiology resources. Fairfax County Health Department rabies alerts list 703-246-2433 and the email hdrabies@fairfaxcounty.gov. If a bite or exposure is severe, urgent or medically concerning, seek medical care immediately instead of waiting for a routine callback.
For medical providers and schools
Use the communicable disease route for reportable diseases, outbreak concerns, exposure investigations and public health reporting questions. State the disease or condition, setting, urgency and best callback number clearly.
For residents
If you have symptoms or exposure concerns, contact a healthcare provider for medical advice. Use Health Department pages for public health guidance, testing access, clinic routing and prevention information.
For life-threatening symptoms, severe allergic reaction, chest pain, trouble breathing, serious injury, overdose, suicidal crisis, severe bleeding, stroke signs, severe infection or immediate danger, call 911. Health Department contact pages are not emergency medical care.
Environmental Health, food, pools, onsite sewage and water
The Fairfax County Health Department Division of Environmental Health is located at 10777 Main Street, Suite 100, Fairfax, VA 22030. The Environmental Health office is open during regular business hours, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The public phone number for Environmental Health and Consumer Protection is 703-246-2201, and the email listed on Environmental Health pages is hdehd@fairfaxcounty.gov.
Environmental Health handles food safety, restaurant inspections, foodborne illness reports, public pool inspections, hotels and other permitted establishments, complaints about bed bugs, rodents, excessive animal waste and trash, public health or safety menaces, disease-carrying insects, public swimming pools, onsite sewage and water, permits, inspections and certain complaints.
Food and restaurants
Call 703-246-2201 or use official PLUS routes for food permits, food safety, inspection questions, restaurant complaints and foodborne illness reports.
Pools, hotels and permitted sites
Environmental Health also covers public swimming pools, hotels and other permitted establishments. Provide the facility name, address and specific concern.
Onsite sewage and water
For onsite sewage, septic and water questions, call 703-246-2201. Bring the property address and permit or inspection details.
Environmental Health complaint checklist
- Write the exact address. Environmental complaints are easier to route when the location is precise.
- Identify the type of issue. Examples include food safety, public pool, hotel, rodents, excessive animal waste, trash, onsite sewage, water or bed bug complaint.
- Write the date and time. For foodborne illness, inspection or sanitation concerns, a clear timeline helps.
- Use PLUS when required. Food permits, complaints and some Environmental Health requests may route through the Planning and Land Use System.
- Call if you are unsure. The Environmental Health number is 703-246-2201.
Food inspections, food permits and PLUS complaints
Fairfax County uses the Planning and Land Use System, called PLUS, for many permit and complaint functions. Food establishment owners and operators can use PLUS to apply for permits, track application status, update information, upload documents, pay fees and search property information.
Food inspection reports are available for retail food establishments such as restaurants, fast food operations, delis, grocery stores, cafeterias and other eateries inspected by Health Department inspectors. Reports are available for establishments in Fairfax County, the City of Fairfax and the City of Falls Church.
The county notes that food inspection reports are usually available approximately two weeks after inspection. A single inspection should not be used to judge a food establishment by itself. Looking at results over time gives a clearer picture of a food establishment’s food safety performance.
| Food safety need | Best route | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Food permit or application | PLUS or 703-246-2201 | Business name, address, owner contact, food operation type and permit/application question. |
| Restaurant inspection lookup | Food Establishment Inspection Reports page | Restaurant name, city, location and approximate inspection date if known. |
| Foodborne illness complaint | PLUS foodborne illness complaint application | Where you ate, what you ate, date/time, symptoms, when symptoms began, other sick people and medical care details. |
| Food truck or temporary food event | Food Safety permits and guidance resources | Menu, event date, operating location, equipment, commissary information and organizer details. |
| Imminent hazard | Call Environmental Health or appropriate emergency route | Fire, flood, power outage, sewage backup, toxic chemical issue, outbreak concern or unsafe condition details. |
A food inspection report is a snapshot of conditions observed at the time of inspection. One report should not be treated as the full history of a food business. Review the series of reports, complaint history when available and any follow-up actions before making conclusions.
What the Fairfax County Health Department does not handle
Good routing prevents wasted trips. These are common Fairfax County health-department mistakes.
| If you need | Do not use | Better route |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency medical care | Routine Health Department contact pages | Call 911 or go to emergency care. |
| Clinic services | 10777 Main Street administration office as a clinic | Call 703-246-7100 and confirm a public health center appointment. |
| Special Use Birth Certificate or birth correction | Fairfax County vital records office | Use Virginia Department of Health Division of Vital Records. |
| Divorce decree | Health Department divorce certificate service | Contact the courthouse where the divorce was filed. |
| A record from another state | Fairfax County Office of Vital Records | Contact the vital records office in the state or county where the event occurred. |
| Private doctor or hospital medical records | Health Department Vital Records | Contact the provider, hospital, clinic, pharmacy or medical records custodian that created the record. |
| Building permits unrelated to public health | Health Department general line only | Use Fairfax County PLUS and the correct permitting department. |
| Animal shelter adoption or lost pet help | Health Department clinic line | Use Fairfax County Animal Services or the animal-control route. |
Fairfax County service area and nearby confusion
This page is for Fairfax County, Virginia and the Fairfax Health District. It may also be relevant for services connected to the City of Fairfax and City of Falls Church when the official Health Department program says the service applies there, such as food establishment inspection reports. Always use the address, event location or record state to choose the correct office.
Boundary rule
Use the location of the service, record or complaint. A Virginia birth or death certificate depends on the state where the event occurred. A food complaint depends on the establishment location. A clinic appointment depends on available Health Department public health centers. A WIC appointment depends on the WIC office and eligibility. If you are near a county or city boundary, call first.
