RECORD SEARCHES
REQUIRED INFORMATION
Certain information is required in order for to us to be able to process your request in an expedient manner and to prevent
unnecessary delays. Incorrect information will delay the search and may result in your document not being located. You can be
assured that every attempt will be made to locate the record you have requested. The minimum facts required include: 1) the full
name of the decedent at the time of death, 2) the date of death, and 3) the place of death.
OPTIONAL INFORMATION
Any additional information you may have can assist us in our search such as nicknames, a husband’s name of a married female,
whether the deceased was an infant, or the name of the funeral director in charge of the decedent. You can be assured that every
attempt is made to locate the record you have requested.
HOW RECORDS ARE SEARCHED
When an application is submitted (Example: William Thomas Public-March 25, 1932-Tulsa County), we will search for the proper
name, as well as other variations of the name (Example: Will, W.T. Bill, Billy, Willy). We also conduct a generalized search over a
span of years (Example: 1930-1940) as well as in surrounding counties (Example: Washington, Muskogee, Wagoner etc.) Please
be aware that these generalized searches may not result in a record being found if the name is common. In that case, more
specific information will be required.
AVAILABLE RECORDS
Oklahoma began filing death records in October of 1908, however filing did not become mandatory until 1917. Prior to 1940 filing
continued to be somewhat sporadic, which may prove problematic for families who may need proof of death for the settlement of
death claims or to obtain entitled benefits.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FILING DEATH CERTIFICATES
It is the responsibility of the funeral director in charge of the decedent at the time of death to properly obtain the information
needed from an immediate family member, obtain the physician’s signature and cause of death information, and then file the
certificate in a timely manner.
