Acquiring death records in Nevada is something that everyone should know how to do, but is a little difficult for most. The Office of Vital Statistics of the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for the filing of these death certificates, which are compiled in an archive that dates back to deaths that occurred in 1911. There are death records prior 1911 that are available but you have to visit the specific county records office of the place where the death occurred.

Death records are considered as confidential information within the State of Nevada and are therefore only available to applicants who are allowed to make requests for such documents. The state defines qualified applicants as those who are the direct family members, guardians and legal representatives of the deceased. Applications will also require you to provide basic information about yourself as well as proof of identification.
