The Arizona Department of Health Services genealogy
page is a useful tool for anyone researching family
history in Arizona from the
late-nineteenth-to-mid-twentieth centuries. In
Arizona, births occurring at least seventy-five years
ago and deaths occurring at least fifty years ago have
been made available to the public in accordance with
state law. In addition to the fully searchable birth
and death indexes, the site includes images of the
certificates. The data in the indexes was extracted
from photocopies of the original birth and death
certificates while the images are copies of the county
or state issued certificates located in the Official
Archives of the State of Arizona.

The births index database currently contains record
from 1887-1929. The deaths index database contains
records for the years 1878-1954. The most effective
way to search either of the databases is to enter the
first few letters of the individual's last name into
the search box. Using this method the search results
will yield not only the name for which you are
looking, but also many misspelled names that would not
have been found had you searched using the complete
last name. While your search can be limited by date
and/or by county, it is not necessary to do so. Once
generated, the search results can be sorted by
last/first name, date born, date died, father's name,
mother's name, or county. To view a PDF image of a
birth or death certificate, just click on the name
link.

Amendments to the original records have been scanned
in as separate PDF documents and may be accessed by
clicking on the document link. Click on the Frequently
Asked Questions link to find search tips and more
about what's available.
