Nebraska Death Records
To begin, add a death record or view a list of locations and resources for Nebraska death records.
As in the rest of the country, death records from Nebraska are legally important, but they're also a vital part of the historical record. If you're searching for death records in Nebraska, the state agency in question is the Vital Records Office in the Department of Health and Human Services. This institution has records dating back to 1904, and some are even older.
Nebraska Rev. Statute 71-612 dictates the state's policy concerning vital records access, and those interested should see this law or Title 174 Chapter 3 of the Nebraska Administrative Code. Generally, the public is allowed to view death records, but only those with proper purpose are allowed copies. Genealogists are considered eligible and can view records older than 50 years as well as more recent ones if they're a relative of the person named in the records.
Death records can be viewed or requested in person, sent for by mail, or-for those who don't have a lot of extra time-ordered through the internet via an online records finder.
