Certified death certificates by mail or walk-in — order extra copies; banks, insurers, and utilities each want their own.
AT A GLANCE
A certified copy of a Missouri death certificate is $14 (includes the search and first copy; additional copies of the same record are $11 each, per DHSS). Any local office can issue deaths from 1980 to present; older records go through the state Bureau of Vital Records.
DETAILS
Bring photo ID. Certified copies go to the person named, immediate family, a legal representative, or someone with a direct tangible interest. Order several copies — banks, insurers, and probate each want their own. Call for current hours and availability.
PRICING
Pricing can vary by service and timing. Ask this provider for the current cost and scope before you commit.
