Statewide registration of deaths in Arizona officially began in 1909, although some registration existed prior to this date. Only records dating 50 years or older are available to the public. Death certificates can be an excellent source of genealogical information, although it is important to remember that the information reported on a death certificate is only as good as the knowledge of the person reporting it (the informant). In addition to the information listed above, death certificates may also list marital status, name of spouse, age at time of death, occupation, residence, birthplaces of parents, cause of death, and burial information.
Genealogical publications are copyright protected. Although data is often retrieved from public archives, the searching, interpreting, collecting, selecting and sorting of the data results in a unique product. Copyright protected work may not simply be copied or republished.
