Database For New York Free Death Records Search

By Ben Kingsley


If you want to obtain New York Death Records, you can inquire at the Department of Public Health because they are the office in-charge of maintaining them. The state started keeping track of deaths that date as far back as 1880. If you the record you want to obtain is a death that occurred prior to 1880, contact the registrar's office of the county where the death occurred.

Death documents are provided to the public because they are recognized as part of the public domain. But despite being part of the public domain, there are certain operating procedures that need to be followed in terms of what type is given to a requestor. Death documents are either certified or uncertified. Certified copies have a stamp of the state seal and are granted only if the requestor is an immediate family or a legal descendant. Uncertified copies can be obtained if the death document is 50 years or more. The aforementioned group of people can also get uncertified copies even if it has not reached 50 years old yet.

To start a search, secure the proper form at the office of the Department of Health in Albany. You can get it personally at the department or download it from their official website. A regular request costs $30 for every copy, with a return period of six to eight weeks. If you want to get your copy faster, you can opt for a rush service for a fee of $45 and a waiting period of two to three weeks.

You need to fill out the form properly and provide the name of the deceased, date of death, place of death, and name of their parents. If you their social security number, it would be helpful to include that too. Make sure that the information you are providing are accurate because it is important for the success or failure of the search process.

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.

If you choose to conduct a Death Records Free Search, you may also do so. If they are not available on the websites that you find, try seeking them at the state local archives. All you have to provide to begin a search is the full name of the deceased. It would be great if you can supply additional details because it narrows the down the search category and eventually adds to your chances of tracing the correct document.
