Mississippi Death Records

Mississippi death records may be obtained by mail after filling out an application form and mailing it, along with a $15 fee (money order or personal check payable to the Mississippi Vital Records Department). You’ll need to be an immediate family member of the deceased if the death took place fewer than fifty years ago. Mississippi privacy laws state that you must be a parent, spouse, sibling, child, grandchild or grandparent to receive the record unless it’s over fifty years old. You’ll also have to provide copies of photo identification, state your relationship to the deceased and any information about the deceased such as full name, place and date of death and social security number if you know it. Keep in mind that you may wait longer than three weeks to receive a response because of the overload of states’ clerks that are authorized to find the information.

Mississippi State Dept. of Health

Professionals who need vital records also appreciate the anonymity when searching for records and the fact they don’t have to prove who they are or comply with all of the rules and regulations involved when requesting them from the state. Death records can contain a plethora of information about a person in your family tree and help lead you to others that can make it possible for you to search even further back. Internet search services tend to provide much more details about information on the death records than the states, so you’ll have more data to go by.
