Description
Oklahoma does not have a public index for vital records. If you need an Oklahoma death certificate quickly, I will go to Vital Records to do a search for you. You should provide the information described at http://www.ok.gov/health/Birth_and_Death_Certificates/Death_Certificates/index.html. The cost for the search is $15.00, whether there are results or not. If no certificate is found, the State Department of Health issues a letter for another search without cost within 6 months IF additional information is found. You should understand, as is noted on the State Department of Health’s webpage, that compliance with the filing of vital records was not consistent until the mid 1930s. If you want to request a death certificate for an earlier date, just remember that Oklahoma is a relatively young state and early records are not all that plentiful.
