Free Death Records Instant Searching Online

By Claire Dowell


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.

Members of the general public are given the right to access the records because they are deemed as part of the public domain. However, there are certain protocols that are implemented as to what type of records can be given to a requestor. There are two types of records, those that are certified and those that are not. Certified records are stamped with the state seal and can only be obtained by the immediate family of the deceased or a legal descendant. Uncertified can also be obtained by the aforementioned people. If the record is at least 50 years old, anyone can get a copy of it.

You can place your request at the Department of Public Health in Albany. You can either acquire the request form from their office or download it from their official website. For a regular request, there is a fee of $30 per copy of the file and a return period of six to eight weeks. For a rush request, with only two to three weeks return period, the fee is a bit more expensive at $45 per copy.

You can submit a request at the office of the Department of Public Health that is located in Albany. A request form can be obtained there or can be downloaded from their website. If you want to place a regular request, you will be required to pay $30 for every copy and you will have to wait six to eight weeks before you can get your hands on the documents. If you want to get them in just two to three weeks, you can choose a rush service type of request at $45 per copy.

Death files can also be obtained by performing an online search. You can find search tools on the Internet that are authorized to keep and supply the files to the public. Such search tools are categorized into two types: fee-based search tools and free search tools. The former has the ability to compile an extensive version of death files. Whenever possible, it also includes the pieces of information that are deemed private. The latter will supply you the basic pieces of information of a death file. It is important that you do not believe right away what these search tools say about themselves because more often than not they will claim that they are legit. Run a history check on them and get as much information as you can about them until you are satisfied that they are legit.

You can also do a Death Records Free Search. In case you cannot find an online service provider that offers a free search, try looking them up at the state archives. Provide at least the full name of the deceased to start your search. Also be ready to provide additional information to narrow down the search category and increase your chances of finding the correct record.
