Notes on Genealogy Research:

Birth certificates of deceased persons born less than 100 years ago or married less than 75 years ago cannot be issued for genealogy.

Death certificates can be released if the death occurred more than 20 years ago and the deceased would be 75 years of age or more.

A search of records covers a three year period and includes the year prior to and the year following the date of the event provided in your application. If a record is not located, a search fee will be charged. If the record is located and a certificate is issued, the search fee is included in the cost of the certificate. Additional years can be searched, a search fee will be charged for each three year increment.

Please include proof of your identify (i.e., a copy of your driver's license, birth or baptism certificate) with your initial request.

Other sources of genealogical information include church records, records kept in family Bibles, and records held by the Genealogical Society of Utah, (50 East North Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150, U.S.A.), where a multitude of records have been compiled by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS).
