Death records were not required by the state of Oregon until 1903 when the
state began to officially register deaths. County death records have been
inventoried through 1920.
Access to death records is restricted for 50 years following the date of
death by Oregon Administrative Rule 333-011-0096. Contact the Oregon State
Archives for access to state death certificates that are more than 50 years
old (currently 1903-1949).
