Obtaining a Copy of Arizona Birth Records

Arizona is a “closed record” state, meaning that Arizona birth records are not considered public information. Only certain people are able to access the birth records. Copies of your Arizona birth record can be obtained from the Department of Health Services.

Ordering Your Birth Records

Requests for Arizona Birth Records can be made in person or by mail. Expedited services are available for an additional fee. Proof of eligibility and the appropriate fee must be included with all requests.

Restrictions to Accessing Birth Records

Since Arizona is a “closed record” state, only certain people have authorization to access Arizona birth records. This includes the person named on the record, or the parents, spouse, grandparents, adult child, adult sibling, or legal guardian of the registrant. Attorneys and adoption agencies involved in an adoption proceeding can also make requests on behalf of the biological or adoptive parents. Genealogical records can also be issued if certain criteria is met.
