Pulaski County, Arkansas Vital Records

 

When you view vital records, you are viewing a person’s birth records, death records, marriage records and divorce records.

 

Birth Records

 

Only the immediate family and legal counsel, can view the record during the first 100 years after creation in Arkansas.

 

You will need to pay a fee of $12 (non-refundable) for the first copy and $10 per additional copy of a birth record that you request. This form will also need to be included: http://www.healthy.arkansas.gov/programsServices/certificatesVitalRecords/Documents/vr-7_birth_certificate_application.pdf, as well as this information: the full name of the person on the birth certificate (including maiden name), date of birth, city or town and county of birth, father’s and mother’s full names (including the mother’s maiden name), your relationship to the person on the birth record and the reason you’re requesting a birth record.

 

Death Records

 

Like birth records, there is a 50-year waiting period for death records; unless you are the deceased’s immediate family or an estate counsel, you will have to wait before you can view the information.

 

Death records are $10 (non-refundable) for the first copy and $8 for each copy thereafter that you request. When requesting a death record, you will need to include this form: http://www.healthy.arkansas.gov/programsServices/certificatesVitalRecords/Documents/vr-8_death_certificate_application.pdf. For death records, you should include this information: the full name of the deceased, the date of death, the county or city of death, the name of the funeral home (optional), your relationship to the deceased and your reason for requesting the certificate.
