OBTAINING BIRTH & DEATH CERTIFICATES

beginning January 1, 2011

 

Did you know that you can order a certified copy of a birth or death certificate by phone or online (with a credit card) or by mail (pay by check), and have it within a day or two after the request is placed?

 

Beginning January 1, 2011, changes at the state level mean that you can no longer obtain birth or death certificates at Wadsworth City Hall; but, a new state access system will now allow you to obtain birth certificates in counties other than where the individual was born, as long as the person was born in Ohio (see area locations below).* 

 

Pricing and procedures for obtaining the certificates vary from location to location, so check the websites or give them a call for more information.  You may wish to call a location before stopping in, just to be sure that the certificate you need is available.
