    Utah Birth Records

    There are many reasons why people may want to get their birth records or the birth records of family members. Utah Birth records can be obtained from the Utah Office of Vital Records. Though previous records where hand written, this new platform also known as SILVER (Secure Internet Link for Vital Events Records) allows individuals to order certified copies of registered vital events such as Birth, Death, Marriage and Divorce. Utah Vital records are only made available to immediate family members or to people that have obtained a written permission from the immediate family. Moreover, Birth records that are over 100 years old or more, marriage records that are 75 years old or more and death records that are 50 years old or more are no longer held by the office of vital records and statistics. If for any purpose you need to have any of these older records, then you will have to look at the Utah Division of Archives and Records Service.Before 1905, vital records and statistics were registered haphazardly by public health authorities in Utah. However under pressure of the Federal Government to create a better system, the present system was put in place and has been modified with the existing technology to its present day status.

Death records exist in Utah even previously to 1898, if you are looking for death records from that date and back you will need to try searching local city agencies, though they were not legally bound to keep that type of record, some did. For death records that date between 1898 and 1905 they began keeping registered records by county. Some indexes are available online. From 1904 until 1959 it was the duty of the Utah health department to create and keep charge of death records and certificates. Thos records are indexed online. For death records from 1960 and forward it is the Utah State Department of Health Bureau of Vital Records that became in charge. This information is also divided by county as another way of categorizing the records.
