Making Requests For Death Records in Massachusetts
Requesting Massachusetts death records needs to be done through the Office of Health and Human Services. The Office has maintained Massachusetts death records from 1916 until the present day, and it is able to provide them to authorized persons upon request.
Ordering Methods to Obtain Death Records
In order to make ordering Massachusetts death records easier, the Office has made records available through several methods. You can visit the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics in person to make a request, or complete an application and mail it in to them along with the appropriate fees. Requests can also be made through an independent company, which processes all phone, fax, internet, and credit card requests.
