Indiana Death Records

To begin, add a death record or view a list of locations and resources for Indiana death records.

Finding death records is often very important, and those from the state of Indiana are no real exception. Yet locating Indiana death records can often seem much harder than it is.

In Indiana, death records are maintained by the Indiana State Department of Health, which holds records dating back to 1907. While in some states this may vary, Illinois offers copies of death certificates only to those who have a direct interest, as determined by Indiana Code 16-37-1.

Retrieving death records from Indiana can be done in a number of ways. Those living in Indianapolis can present a request in person. Others can mail in their request if they have a number of weeks to wait for results. If neither of these options work, those in need of Indiana death certificates can also use internet public records finders to help them get what they need in a faster manner.
