Who Can Receive A Copy?
Arizona is a “closed record” state, which means that vital records are not a part of public records. The person whose name appears on the birth certificate (registrant), if 18 years and older, their immediate family members, and legal representatives may be issued certified copies of birth certificates.
The requester or applicant must supply the necessary documentation (valid government photo ID, proof of relationship, a notarized letter of consent for the release of information from the registrant). You will be provided an authorization form with all the necessary entitlement and requirements upon the completion of your order.
