This informal meeting is designed to demonstrate how the portal works, share some tips for successfully navigating within the portal, illustrate activities that can be done from the portal, and address individual’s questions and concerns. We will demonstrate how to use the public look-up function, how to find and print out your own certificate, and how the name change process works.
