Certified Death Certificates

How many will we need?

Certified Death Certificates

The death certificate is a permanent record that is recorded in the city or town in which the death occurred.  The use of a certified death certificate will vary depending on the need.  The following are some circumstances that may require a certified copy:

Reviewing the will with an attorney or filing for a probate 

The sale or transfer of motor vehicles registered to the deceased
Changes to bank accounts that the deceased used
Some entities will permit the use of a “copy” of the death certificate. 

If  additional certified death certificates are needed, they may be purchased through the Vital Statistics office at the health department. You can call (719) 583-4300 and press 4 to listen to the Vital Statistics Department’s recorded messages on obtaining a birth or death certificate.
