District of Columbia Death Records
Vital Records:The mission of the State Center for Health Statistics Administration
is to collect, preserve, and analyze information on births, deaths, and other genealogical
events in the District of Columbia. The Center serves as the clearinghouse for District of Columbia vital records
and as the District's state agency for providing official health data to other local, state,
and federal agencies.
Persons entitled to purchase a vital record include:
- The registrant
- An immediate nuclear family member
- A legal guardian
- A legal representative
Birth and death records become public after 100 years have elapsed from the date of birth and
50 years have elapsed from the date of death. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, and other relatives
not part of the immediate family cannot obtain a birth or death certificate from Vital Records
prior to the record becoming open to the public.
