General Information on Ordering Nevada Death Certificates

Statewide vital records registration for Nevada began in 1911. Though some records exist prior to that time, they are kept within the county recorder's office rather than at the Section of Vital Statistics. There is no statewide index for records prior to 1911, and the index beginning in 1911 has restricted access.

For records earlier than 1911, contact the Nevada State Archives.

Personal check or money order should be made payable to Office of Vital Records and Statistics. To verify current fees, the telephone number is (775) 684-4280. This will be a recorded message.
