Vital Statistics - Birth & Death Certificates

Vital Statistics files and issues birth and death certificates, correction affidavits, adoptions, and paternity declarations, and issues burial permits. Birth, Death, and Stillbirth Certificates must be pre-ordered (same-day pickup usually available for Birth Certificates if requested before 3pm). Birth Certificates can be requested using the form below. The price of certified certificates is $25 per copy and we do not charge any extra fees for orders completed through our request form. We accept MasterCard or Visa only (cash orders should be directed to the Butler County General Health District).

Birth, Death, and Stillbirth Certificates may be pre-ordered over the phone for pickup or to be mailed at 513-785-7094. When calling the Vital Statistics Department during our normal business hours, you will be greeted by a live person unless all of our staff is already on the line or assisting a customer. If this is the case please leave a message with your contact information, so we can call you back as soon as we are available. The price of certified certificates is $25 per copy. We accept MasterCard or Visa only. 

Please note: Birth and Death Certificates are statewide issuance. This means that anyone born in Ohio, or anyone who passed away in Ohio, can obtain a certificate from any Vital Statistics office within the State of Ohio.
