Death certificates are handled at the county level first, and it would be best to contact the local county first. However, if it's later than that or you don't know which county, use the form below.

To follow up on Kal's correct answer, do NOT go to any court house. Vital records are not maintained in any court house in California. They are kept by the County Recorder and by the State. It is much easier and faster to get records from the County than from the State. Every county in California maintains a web site, so if you put the name of the county and the word "recorder" in a Google search, you will get the correct link. Only go to the State cite if you don't know the County of death.

Visit the social security death index and search for the name you are inquiring about. You can get the county of death and can go to the Court House there to obtain the certificate.
