Easily find vital records offices across the United States
The Arizona Department of Health Services is responsible for maintaining vital records in the state of Arizona, but they can only issue certified copies of birth and death records. Certified copies of marriage and divorce records must be requested from the county department where the event occurred. Arizona is a closed-record state, which means that vital records never become public record. This means that the only people who can request certified copies are those listed on the certificate themselves, or a parent or guardian.
