Where do I find death certificates?

The Minnesota Historical Society Library has copies of original death cards from 1900-1907 and original death certificates on microfilm for the years 1908-2001. This index provides clues about how to find these certificates on microfilm. They can be viewed at the library.

For death certificates before 1900, contact the county in which the person died, not necessarily the county of residence. Deaths since 2001 are filed with the Minnesota Department of Health and the county of death.
