Arizona Public Records

Vital Records for births and deaths are managed by the Arizona Bureau of Health Status and Vital Statistics. All certificates must be requested by a legal adult (18). Children seeking records must be accompanied by a guardian or legal representative. Unlike many states, Arizona is a closed record state. Vital records never become fully available to the public.

Even genealogical researcher must establish a legal proof of relationship to the individual whose information they are requesting. Same day certificate service must be done in person and are available only on records from 1990 to current. All expedited services must be done online through the VitalChek service.
