The State of Connecticut clearly reminds its applicants that the turnaround time for the obtention of Connecticut death records can take a while – approximately about three months – if the applications are received through mail. This applies not only to death certificates but to most other types of certificates as well. They advise that in order to shorten the wait for turnaround time it's better if you direct your request for that certificate at the proper office of the town where the person whose name is on the certificate died.

If you are looking to get instant access to our huge database of Connecticut death records, certificates and obituaries, please fill the form at the top of this page.

Anyone over 18 years old can make a request for that death certificate upon providing the basic information of the deceased. However, there are certain details and information such as the social security number of the deceased that will be exclusive only for a certain group of persons. This includes the immediate family member, legal representatives and other specified persons. This rule applies when you request for a death certificate issued beyond July 1, 1997.

Connecticut is a state that has allowed unrestricted access to death records after July 1, 1987. This will make it convenient for researchers and family members alike to access these records for all their needs, may it be scientific or personal.

But in order to do this you will need to know the basic protocol around getting death certificates from the state of Connecticut .

Your first step to getting the death certificate is filling up the request form. You can get this form at the website of the Connecticut Department of Public Health. After filling this up you can either send the application via mail or deliver it personally to this address:

State of Connecticut Department of Public Health
Vital Records Section MS# 11VRS
PO Box 340308
Hartford , CT 06134-0308

On the other hand, you can send mail or personally send that same application form to the vital records office of the town where the deceased resided upon the time of death. Unlike other states, it is important to note that Connecticut does not accept applications or requests through phone.

You can also apply for the Colorado Death certificate using VitalChek. This will be a bit more convenient, but there will be additional charges.
