Arizona Free Death Records

By Ben Kingsley


There are a lot of reasons why people request for a replica of a death report. It can be utilized as an instrument to evaluate the reason behind the death of an individual, a prima facie proof of the actuality of death, to confirm the will of a person, or to claim on an individual's life insurance. It is also being used in public health to collect the main causes of death. If you are staying in the Arizona state, you may search through Arizona death notices. Similar to any other regions, it has also forced definite forms of documents to employ and a process to pursue so one can get a replica of such death report.

The items that you can uncover in a death certificate vary from county to county, but in most cases, it includes the name of the individual, birth date, date of passing away, cause of death, name of the physician and interment details.

For accounts of death that transpired since July 1909, the appropriate office to approach is the Arizona Department of Health Services, Office of Vital Records. In order to get a certified copy of such document, you must have a proof that you are a child, a parent or spouse of the deceased and above 18 years old. The first thing you need to do is to download the application form from the Internet. Complete the form with the necessary information and submit it in person or by mail. If you are applying in person, you must bring a valid government-issued picture identification which bears your signature and proof that you are an immediate family of the deceased. The cost per death report is $20.00 and it is payable by cash, traveler's check, cashier's check, money order and Visa or MasterCard. If you are requesting by mail, include a self-addressed stamped envelope and make your payment in the form of a cashier's check or money order payable to the Office of Vital Records. For credit or debit cards, you must indicate the complete card number and the expiration date on your request. The processing time for mailed petitions is around 15 to 20 days. One must keep in mind that an incomplete application will delay the processing of your appeal.

Death records from around 1978 until 1963 are considered public records and you can check them out through the agency's website for free and there is no need for you to make a request to access such files. The images are taken from microfilm records and you can print them out if you want. You can also visit the Arizona State Library since they also have such records readily accessible to everyone.

For certificates that are recently issued, or those newer than 2008, you can secure a copy from the county health offices. Just bring with you the application and the corresponding payment.

Currently, quick retrieval of birth and death records is made achievable through the advancement of the Internet. We can bid farewell to the wearisome trip to the various organizations because online record communities can provide us the information we desire in a breeze, right in the pleasure of our own abode.
