Maine Death Records

Many states, including Maine, now have methods where you can request the state to search through records to find and obtain a copy of a death record. The fees are low – $10 is the search fee for the state of Maine ($15, if you want a certified copy) – and many records from the early years of the 1700s can be located. Maine was one of the early colonies of the United States, but records weren’t collected formally until 1892. Also, because of fraud and identity theft issues, the state of Maine (and other states) may not release the death record information unless you’re related to the deceased. Maine privacy laws aren’t as rigid as others, and if the record is older than 100 years, you’ll likely be able to retrieve the death record information. To request a copy of a death record, simply write a letter of request and provide pertinent information about the deceased such as name, death date, birth date, parents and where they are buried. If you’re looking for a death record earlier than a hundred years ago, you’ll also need to include copies of photo identification. Send the form, fee and appropriate copies to:
Maine Dept. of Health and Human Services
