You can contact the county agency (usually the health department) that issues death certificates, or we can order short—or long-form death certificates for you.

We cannot get death certificates faster than the county issues them, which might take several weeks or longer. If we ordered death certificates on your behalf, we will call you as soon as they arrive.

If you need to correct any information on a death certificate, contact the county health department or issuing agency. You may also call us and we will assist you in making the necessary amendments through the appropriate channels.
