Massachusetts Death Record - State Certified, Embossed with Raised State Seal.

Certified death records are official, legal documents and obtained through the Massachusetts State Registry of Vital Statistics in Boston. Each death certificate is embossed with the official raised Massachusetts state seal, signed by the State Registrar, printed on secure, watermarked paper and contains a scanned, digital barcode for tracking.

Certified death records are valid for most legal and or official purposes including but not limited to, providing proof of death for life insurance claims, probate court estate filings, social security death and or pension/retirement benefits.

The charge for locating, obtaining and shipping a Massachusetts certified death certificate is $45 [US]. Quantity discounts apply for duplicates of the same record ordered at the same time.

If you don't need a death certificate for official or legal reasons, you're doing family history for example, you can request a transcribed record. The fee for locating, transcribing and emailing a PDF death record is $20.

A transcribed record is not an official or legal document. However, it is an excellent alternative for such purposes as genealogy research or for background investigations. All information recorded on the original record is hand copied and transcribed into a "plain text" PDF file format. It is only delivered as an email attachment.

If you need the record(s) for any legal or official purpose, such as applying for life insurance, or social security benefits or probate matters, order a certified record.
