What Information Can Be Found in Birth and Death Records?
If you're looking for lost relatives, proof of United States citizenship, or you're simply documenting your family tree or conducting genealogy research for medical or other reasons, birth and death records will be an integral part of your search. Birth and death certificates can help verify the spelling of a name, the age, or history of a certain person. Though vital records were not routinely maintained in the United States until the early 1900's, there is still much information that can be found around these milestone life events. Birth records are administered at the state level because birthplace is considered a determinant of citizenship. The type of information that you can find in birth and death records includes:
Birth Certificates
- Full names of subject individual and each parent including mother's maiden name
- Occupation of parents
- Age and address of parents at time of birth
- Birthplace of parents
- Birth date
- Location of birth including city, state, country and hospital name
- Delivering doctor
Death Certificates
- Full name of the deceased
- Name of the person who reported the death
- Location of where the deceased will be buried
- Birth date of the deceased
- Date, time, location and cause of death
- Age and residence at time of death
- Marital status
- Name and birthplace of mother and father
- Name of person who reported death
How to Conduct a Birth or Death Records Search?
To conduct a search or obtain copies of birth or death certificates, you should contact:
- The vital records office in the applicable state of birth or death. The location of this office varies from state to state, but in many cases this office or these records are maintained through the state's department of health. Birth and death certificates typically require identification and proof of relationship to the person whose record is being requested, though some states consider this information to be public and will release it despite the lack of proof of relationship.
National Birth and Death Records Resource Links
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Vital Records Resources - Birth and death certificates are handled at the state level, but the CDC does offer a composite list of links to each state's vital records office.

I learned recently that my maternal grandmother gave birth to a child that was kept a secret in Stearns County. My mother would like to locate the birth record to see if she can locate this sibling of hers. What form do we need to complete, not knowing the name of the baby that was born, or the exact date. I just have my grandmother's name and the dates that the birth fell between. Thank you.

Per law states does not publish death certificates within 25 years of their occurrence. I suggest that you contact Texas Vital Resources located in Austin, if I am right off the top of my mind.

My mother needs to order her husband's death certificate.He passed away in the state of Illinois but my mother and I live in Mexico.She has tried ordering it by calling the phone number provided on the web page from Vital Records but the call does not go through. Is there a specific phone number to dial from Mexico? Another problem we found is that she does not have U.S. IDs that are required such as a driver's license. She has a Mexican voting credential and a Mexican passport. Is there a way she can get this death certificate from Mexico?
