Search Arizona Vital Records

Vital records in Arizona — birth certificates, death certificates, marriage records, and divorce records — are handled at the state level by Arizona Department of Health Services. Marriage licenses are issued locally by the Clerk of the Superior Court.

What this page covers: Arizona vital record ordering, eligibility requirements, and related databases. What it does not cover: Genealogy records older than the state vital records system (check the Genealogy Resources page for historical records).

Where to start: For certified copies of birth or death certificates, contact Arizona Department of Health Services. For marriage licenses, contact the Clerk of the Superior Court in the county where the ceremony will occur. For divorce records, contact the court that granted the decree.

Common mistake: Birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, and divorce decrees come from different offices. Do not assume one office handles all vital records.
