Who Can Request an Indiana Death Certificate?

Access to certified death certificates in Indiana depends on how long ago the death occurred and the type of information requested.

Certificates with cause of death are restricted to:

  • Deceased’s immediate family

  • Legal representatives

  • Individuals with a court order

  • Those with a documented and direct interest

Certificates without medical information (i.e., cause of death) may be requested by others, depending on how long the record has been on file. After a certain period, older records may be available as public death records.

Types of Indiana Death Certificate

There are different types of death certificates:

  • Long-form certified copy (with cause of death): This includes full medical details, such as the cause and manner of death. Required for legal purposes like probate, insurance claims, or inheritance.

  • Short-form certified copy (without cause of death): Excludes medical details. Acceptable for administrative tasks that do not require health data, like closing utility accounts or updating family records.

  • Non-certified copy (public death record): Available for older records used in genealogical research or historical studies. Cannot be used for legal transactions.
