Get a Death Certificate in Juniata County, PA
This service isn't handled by the Register and Recorder. Here's where to go instead.
Certified death certificates are issued by Pennsylvania Vital Records (Department of Health), not the county office. Note: some county Registers of Wills hold pre-1906 birth and death records for genealogical research.
🌐 Go to the official portalhealth.pa.gov ↗Each certificate is $20.00. Posting this form is the cheapest route — ordering online adds a $10.00 service fee on top. Mail it to the Division of Vital Records in New Castle, or take it to one of the six walk-in offices (Erie, Harrisburg, New Castle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton), where a request handed in before 2.30pm can be issued the same day; Philadelphia is by appointment, the other five take walk-ins. Pennsylvania vital records are state-held, so this office cannot issue one.
⚠️ This office does not process death certificates. Use the agency linked above. The office below is your county's Register and Recorder — useful for other services.
