Very Helpful
Information:
If you are looking
for a birth record for someone born in Arizona 1924 and
earlier, or a death record for someone who died in Arizona
1949 or earlier, either visit or contact the staff at the
Arizona State Archives.
Photocopies of
those vital records are ten cents a piece if you do your
own research and twenty-five cents a piece if the Archives
staff does the research and copying for you.
These photocopies
are not certified records.
Be aware that if
you contact the Arizona Vital Records Office for the same
records, they will charge you the six or seven dollar fee.
In addition, you will have to prove that you are related
to the individual you are researching. Archives staff
reports several instances of researchers who have spent
close to one hundred dollars and most of a day at the
Vital Records Office, trying to get their ancestors'
birth and death records. They then go to the State
Archives to do research in the county marriage and probate
records there, only to find out that they could have
obtained copies of those same birth and death records for
under three dollars and at a fraction of the time.
You can send
research requests to the Archives reference e-mail folder
and staff will get back to you within 48 hours or less.
