Where can I find information regarding birth or death notices or certificates?

Birth and death certificates and related information can be ordered online from the ND Health Department website: http://ndhealth.gov/vital/

You’ll find a lot of helpful information on that page, including a searchable “Public Death Index” which allows searches with fairly minimal information.

If you do not find what you are looking for there, click on the “Contact us” link on that page to get further assistance from the Health Department or Vital Records division.
