Florida Death Notices

By Ben Kingsley


Some business transactions require the presentation of supporting documents such as birth certificates, death records and marriage certificate as well divorce decree to establish one's identity. For those who lost their own copies or need an extra copy, they can get one from the Florida Vital Statistics Office. Florida death notices or death records are useful to those who need to claim their deceased benefits and in such cases when there is a dispute with properties left by the deceased. It is also useful for those who want to determine the cause of death of the person or are compiling statistical report(s).

Death records in the Bureau of Vital Statistics date back to 1917 although the Office also has limited records of deaths that were recorded in 1877. Anyone can order death certificates in Florida although the cause of death is kept in confidentiality for up to 50 years from the time of a person's death. The cause of death will only be released to the spouse, children of legal age, siblings as well as to grandchildren.

A written request is required by the Office to process the request. The person requesting the copies of the record should include the deceased's name, day of death, birth date, county and social security number is optional. He or she should also include their relationship with the deceased so that the office will determine if the "cause of death" will be included in the certificate. The person who requests the information should also include their contact details as well as a copy of any valid id with photo. Submission of original documents is not required.

For those who are eligible to request a copy, they must submit their written request, including the following information - name of the deceased, birth date, county and sex. The person requesting the report should also include their names, relation to the deceased, contact info as well as a valid photo ID. Original documents are not required.
