In 2001 the Arizona Legislature established a new certificate entitled "Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth." This new certificate became available from the Office of Vital Records beginning August 9, 2001.

Certified copies of a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth can be requested in person at the customer service counter at the Office of Vital Records or by mail.

Applications are available in the lobby of the Office of Vital Records and may also be printed from this web site.

Who may order and obtain a certified copy of a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth?

Please note: Arizona is a "closed record" state. That means that vital records are not public record. Arizona law restricts the public's access to vital records as follows:

Only persons 18 years of age or older may obtain a certified copy of a birth certificate. In addition, to protect the confidentiality rights of our citizens, Arizona law specifies that only the parents listed on the record or another person authorized by one of the parents may obtain a certified copy of a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth.

If you are not one of the parents listed on the record, you must provide written authorization from one or both of the parents in order to receive a certified copy of the certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth, and a valid government issued picture I.D. in order to obtain a certified copy.
