State death certificates begin in 1908. Death records prior to 1908 are only available from the county life records office where the death occurred. Before a death certificate can be purchased, the funeral director must register the legal facts of the death.
Legal facts include the date, time and place of death, as well as identifying information about the deceased. Then, a doctor adds the cause of death and manner of death to complete the death record. Sometimes this step can mean a longer wait for a death certificate. Sign your application form before a notary before sending your application. The Vital Statistics Office returns application forms that do not have a notarized signature or stamp or seal. We will also return incomplete forms or forms that have not been paid in full at the time of application. Complete the appropriate application for death benefits (SF 2800 for CSIS or SF 3104 and SF 3104B for CREWS) and attach any other forms and/or proof required by the application or circumstances. Attach a copy of the employee`s death certificate and a copy of the widow`s or widower`s marriage certificate.
