Birth and Death Certificates

Clinton County Health District can issue certified birth certificates for anyone born in the State of Ohio. 

Clinton County Health District can issue certified death certificates for those that the death occurred in the State of Ohio. 

Available records are 1909 to present.  

Ohio is an “open state” which means vital records (both births and deaths) are considered public documents by the State of Ohio.  This means that anyone who can submit the basic facts of a certificate may request a certified copy.  Birth and death records are recorded in the county in which the event occurs regardless of the person’s residence.
