Copies of death certificates for deaths that occurred within the past 25 years can be requested only by immediate family members of the
person whose name is on the certificate. See Section 181.1(13) of the Texas Administrative Code for who qualifies as an immediate
family member. An immediate family member is the decedent's child, spouse, parent, sibling, or grandparent.
Applicants who are not immediate family members must provide legal documentation (such as an insurance policy listing the applicant
as the beneficiary) that documents a direct, tangible interest in the death certificate.
The applicant must include a photocopy of his or her valid photo ID issued by a governmental entity. See Section 181.28 of the
the Texas Administrative Code for a complete list of acceptable forms of identification. You also can see VSS’s page on
acceptable identification in English (http://www.dshs.texas.gov/vs/reqproc/Acceptable-IDs/) and Spanish (http://
www.dshs.texas.gov/vs/reqproc/Acceptable-IDs-(Spanish)/).
Applications for death certificates cannot be processed without a photo ID or alternate IDs and the signature of the applicant.
