Arizona apostille requirements for death certificates
To be eligible for apostilles, Arizona death certificates should be certified by the State Registrar or Assistant State Registrar. Certified copies that have the watermark "For Government Use Only" are not eligible for apostilles.
Old death certificates are acceptable for apostille purposes. However, please check with the country of intended use if the receiving authorities require a recent copy.
Where to get a certified copy eligible for an apostille?
Arizona is a "closed record" state. That means that death certificates are not public records.
To obtain a certified copy of the death certificate, please contact Arizona Department of Health Services: ADHS - Vital Records - Home (azdhs.gov).
You can also order a certified copy from the local County Health Department where the death was registered: ADHS - Vital Records - Local County Health Department (azdhs.gov)
If you have a certified copy, email it for a free document evaluation.
