An independent document preparation service that helps families obtain certified death certificate copies without navigating confusing state and county paperwork on their own.
Online ordering through this site is not available right now. You can order a certified death certificate directly from your state vital records office - this is usually the fastest and cheapest option. Find your state office.
Families dealing with the loss of a loved one often need multiple certified copies of a death certificate - for banks, insurance companies, the Social Security Administration, probate courts, and more. Every state and county has its own vital records office, its own required forms, and its own fees, and figuring out the right process while grieving is difficult.
GetDeathCertificates.com exists to take that burden off families. You submit one simple form with the deceased's name, date of death, county and state, and the number of copies you need. We identify the correct vital records office, prepare and submit the request in the format that office requires, pay the county or state fee on your behalf, track the order, and have certified copies delivered to you.
This site is an independent guide to getting certified death certificates in all 50 states, pointing to the correct state vital records offices. It does not take or fulfil orders.
