BIRTH CERTIFICATES
Certified computer birth certificates can be issued for persons born in Missouri since 1920. The health department is not able to print the birth certificate if there was a delay in filing the original. Those allowed to obtain a certified birth certificate are: yourself, parents (if they are listed on birth certificate),an individual's closest blood relatives and legal relations, most commonly consisting of a spouse or domestic partner, siblings, and children.

DEATH CERTIFICATES
Certified computer death certificates can be issued for deaths occurring in Missouri since 1982.

Certificates that cannot be issued by this department must be obtained though the Missouri Department of Health in Jefferson City. For some purposes, such as genealogy or insurance, a certified copy of the original document is needed and can be requested from Jefferson City.
