How do you get a death certificate?

You send an application to your state health department (not the federal government). Every state has its own regulations and processes so it can be complicated. We help you to prepare your application in the simplest way possible, so you don’t have to worry about it.

You just fill out our simple online application form. We’ll then review it and send it back to you with step-by-step instructions. After you submit it, the state will process your application and send your certificate in the post.
