About the Maryland Division of Vital Records

The current catalog centers on two application types: one for a certified copy of a Maryland death record and another for a certified copy of a Maryland fetal death record. The distinction is the record category named in each title, so users should choose the application that matches the record they are seeking rather than treating the forms as interchangeable. Both are applications for certified copies; their titles do not specify who qualifies to receive a copy or what supporting material may be needed.

These published forms are the documents currently represented here, not a complete inventory of every document the Division may issue. Before using an application, check the Division’s current instructions for the relevant record type. Confirm details such as eligibility, fees, supporting documents, deadlines, the current form version, and accepted submission methods, since those requirements are not established by the form titles alone.
