The certified copy of a death certificate has the state seal and can be used for most legal matters. You might also get a copy of the original certificate and use it as a legal document. If you’re not a member of the family, then you may receive a document that is sans the seal and is sufficient for most genealogical research purposes. Keep in mind that you’ll have to send copies of identification issued by the government and to prove that you’re related to the deceased in order to receive a certified copy.
