Indiana Death Records
Death registration in Indiana began in 1882. Prior to 1900, records of death are filed ONLY with
the Local Health Department in the county where the death actually occurred. There are no indexes
to the state death certificates from 1900 through 1918.
The specific CITY or COUNTY of death must
be provided for searches in this period and the search is limited to one county for each
Search Fee ($8.00) paid. If the exact date of death is not known, please indicate the five (5)
year period to be searched. An additional $8.00 is required for each additional five (5) year
period searched, or COUNTY SEARCHED from 1900-1918. Search fees are nonrefundable.
Individuals seeking birth and death certificates can apply in person at the State Vital Records Office
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., weekdays. The office is located at 6 Washington Street in downtown
Indianapolis.
The Indiana State Department of Health can provide a copy of a birth certificate for births in the
State of Indiana EXCEPT for births that occurred before October 1907. If birth occurred before this
date, contact the health officer in the county where the birth occurred. A $10.00 non-refundable
search fee is required before a search can be made, and includes one (1) certified copy if found.
There is a $4.00 charge for each additional copy of same record issued at the same time.
