For Utah death records, the government office specifically tasked to file and issue these documents is the Office of Vital Records and Statistics of the Utah Department of Health. The documents which are kept in file record all deaths which took place within the state since 1905.

Each initial copy of the death certificate costs $16, which also covers the search fee, while additional copies requested at the same time cost $8 each.

You may place your order by telephone. Just dial the toll free number 866-632-2602 during regular business hours. Orders made through phone are processed through VitalChek, so the fees will apply.

You can also apply online by filling the form at the top or bottom of this page.
