Often, when an individual would like to find a particular death record, all of the internet sites where the individual can obtain the information about the record require a fee to be paid in order to view the information. There are several different ways that an individual can obtain free death records and each way requires different actions on the part of the searcher.

The most common way of obtaining free death records is to contact the local Vital Records department in the city where the death has occurred. The amount of time that it will take to receive the records varies from city to city and depends on whether you would like to receive the records by mail or are willing to travel to the Vital Records office to pick up the information.

If the local Vital Records department has an online website, you may be able to obtain the information that you are looking for there very quickly. Because the website is part of an government office, individuals that are looking to obtain free death records will not have to pay a fee to access the information on the website, although the individual will have to pay to receive copies of the information that they found online.
