By Ben Kingsley


If you are looking for New York Death Records, head over to the state's Department of Public Health. The department is the office tasked of preserving the files. The state of New York began to keep files of deaths that occurred in 1880 until today. Deaths that occurred before the said year are kept only at a registrar's office of the county where the death transpired.

Death documents are provided to the public because they are recognized as part of the public domain. But despite being part of the public domain, there are certain operating procedures that need to be followed in terms of what type is given to a requestor. Death documents are either certified or uncertified. Certified copies have a stamp of the state seal and are granted only if the requestor is an immediate family or a legal descendant. Uncertified copies can be obtained if the death document is 50 years or more. The aforementioned group of people can also get uncertified copies even if it has not reached 50 years old yet.

To begin a search, you should head over to the Department of Public Health office in Albany and get a request form there. You may also just download the form from their official website. For every request, there is a fee of $30 for every copy and a waiting period of six to eight weeks. If you the waiting period is too long for you, you can opt for a rush service at $45 per copy. It takes two to three weeks to process rush requests.
