Montana Death Records

Montana didn’t begin to record death records officially until the year 1907. Before that year, deaths were recorded at the county level, as were most vital records for the state. Since Montana didn’t become part of the United States until 1889, vital records before that might have been kept by churches, individual families and cemeteries, but they may lack much information about the deceased. Although there are no laws that protect privacy of vital records in Montana, you may still need to send identification when requesting Montana death records and state why you are requesting the record. As with most states, there is a fee for the search and as of now, the fee is $12 (5 for each copy thereafter) and is payable to Montana Vital records. You should include a money order or check for the fee along with a completed application and copies of your photo identification. Even though you don’t have to prove a relationship to the deceased, you’ll need to have the application notarized so they’ll know it’s actually you who’s making the request. Send this information to the following address:

Dept. of Public Health and Human Services
Vital Records Office
111 No. Sanders
P.O. Box 4210
