Key facts

  • Nevada's vital records office issues certificates only for events (births, deaths) registered in Nevada — apply to the state where the event happened, not the state you live in now.
  • $25 per copy for a birth or death certificate.
  • Check or money order payable to the "Office of Vital Records."
  • Include a copy of photo ID and proof of your relationship/direct interest in the record.
  • The state office can only search its marriage index ($10, covering 1968–2005 and 2015–present) — a certified copy comes from the county recorder where the license was issued.
  • Mailed applications take longer than online orders because processing only starts once the envelope arrives — allow extra time if you need the certificate for a passport, estate, or other deadline.
  • PostPal prints your completed application and mails it to Office of Vital Records the next business day — no printer, envelope, or trip to the post office.
