offer alternatives for shipping
I am attempting to order a copy of my sons birth certificate. The only option for shipping is 18.00 airmail. Like you I am not home during the day, I am working. I have a locked mailbox and I do not understand why I am paying 18.00 to ship a piece of paper from Phoenix to Scottsdale?
1 voteADHS, at this time, does not have web-ordering available for general issuance. We offer web-ordering for expedited service thru our vendor Vital Check that does charge a shipping fee. You may apply in person at the Maricopa County Office of Vital Registration, they have multiple valley locations.

May DES request death certificates via email rather than fax or regular mail?
We are thinking of making electronic death certificate requests, along with electronic requests for medical records and other information required for mortality review.
1 voteEmail requests are not acceptable pursuant to A.R.S. 36-324 and R9-19-402. Requests for vital records must be in writing and contain the applicant’s signature.
The Bureau of Vital Records has a government liaison to assist government agencies in making requests for birth and death certificates. You may contact our office at 602-364-1300 and request to speak to the government liaison for further information on making such requests. -
give us the ability to search the records for a date of death, without applying for a death certificate.
there is no place for me to see when my mother passed several years ago in AZ. I live in GA & it's impossible for me to go down to the courthouse and look through records. I don't want a certificate of death, only to know when she died. i don't think i should have to pay for this service.
1 voteThank you for your inquiry. Arizona is a “closed record” state which means that vital records are protected and not public record until the statutory timelines lapse. Before these timelines lapse, Arizona law requires the Arizona Department of Health Services to follow the standard process for verifying eligibility and issuance of death certificates.
Arizona law allows these records to become public after the following timelines; seventy-five years after the person’s birth and fifty years after the person’s death. The Department makes these records available on the Arizona Genealogy website at http://genealogy.az.gov/. If you have additional questions or concerns please contact us at 1-888-816-5907. -

When I notified Vital Check and UPS, they both blamed the other party for the issue and have refused to resolve the issue of a missing birth certificate, which has been delivered to who knows where. Both companies also refuse to take responsibility for covering identity theft protection after losing a long form birth certificate. The…
