By Ben Kingsley


There are various reasons why people ask for a copy of a death certificate. It can be used as a tool to review the cause of death of an individual, a prima facie evidence of the fact of death, to prove a person's will or to claim on a person's life insurance. It is also being utilized in public health to compile data on the leading causes of death. If you are in the state of Arizona, you may browse through Arizona death notices. Just like any other states, it has also imposed certain forms of documents to use and procedures to follow in order to secure a duplicate copy.

The details you can find in a death certificate vary by county, but most of the time, it includes the person's name, date of birth, date of death, cause of death, physician's name and burial details.

The right bureau to approach for death events that happened from July 1909 is the Office of Vital Records, Arizona Department of Health Services. To secure a copy of such paper, you must prove that you are a son or daughter, a parent, a husband or wife of the deceased and that you are more than 18 years of age. The next thing that you should do is to download and complete the request form which you can find in the website. You can then forward the application personally or by mail. If you want to directly hand-in your appeal, make sure to bring with you a state-issued photo identification with your signature and an evidence that you are a direct family of the deceased. Each copy of a death certificate cost $20.00. You can pay by cash, traveler's check, cashier's check, money order and Visa or MasterCard. If you wish to submit via mail, you must include a self-addressed stamped envelope and enclose your payment either by cashier's check or money order payable to the Office of Vital Records. For payments made through debit and credit cards, you must write the complete number of the card and its expiration date on your application. The lead time for mailed requests is about 15 to 20 working days. Make sure to submit a complete appeal to avoid postponement in the processing of your petition.

Data of death incidents from 1978 to around 1963 are deemed as public files and you can view such reports through the organization's website with no request and no payment required. The images are preserved in microfilms and you can print a reproduction if you need to. You can also contact the Arizona State Library; there are records readily obtainable to all.
