Utah Death Records

No governmental agencies were required by law to record deaths prior to 1898.

Though not required to do so, some municipalities, such as Salt Lake City and Ogden, registered deaths prior to 1898.

County clerks became responsible for recording deaths beginning in 1898.

The Utah State Archives has microfilm copies of all county death registers, 1898 to 1905. These films are available for your research visit or you may borrow them through our film loan program.

In late 1904, the Utah Dept. of Health assumed responsibility for creating death certificates for all individuals who died in Utah. Plain copies of these certificates are available through the Utah State Archives but official copies of death certificates must be obtained through the Bureau of Vital Records.
