The years this office can serve. In its own words it issues deaths that occurred in Glades County from 1963 to the present — its own county, which is a narrower claim than the statewide one. For a death in another Florida county, ask this office what it can pull, or the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville.
Who may have one. § 382.025(1) gives a death certificate to the person named if of legal age, a parent, guardian or legal representative, and to a spouse, child, grandchild or sibling of legal age. A copy WITH the cause of death is restricted to those relatives or a court order until 50 years after the date of death (§ 382.025(1)(b)); anyone may buy a copy WITHOUT it.
Ordering from the state Bureau of Vital Statistics costs $5.00 for the first certificate and $4.00 for each additional copy ordered at the same time; county health department fees vary. Tick either WITHOUT cause of death or WITH cause of death — Florida restricts the cause-of-death version to eligible applicants, and the rules are printed on the back of the form. Mail it to the Bureau in Jacksonville, walk it in, or take it to a local county health department — not to this office. Include a copy of your photo ID.
