Death Certificates
The County Clerk's office has death certificates
from 1903 to the present. Death certificates are considered a closed
record for 25 years, so only qualified applicants may obtain certified copies of
them during that time. Qualified applicants are defined as mother, father,
child, sibling, spouse, grandparent, legal guardian or legal representative of
the deceased. Applicants must provide valid identification.
Death certificates are only available for
Washington County. Anyone needing a death certificate for someone who
passed away in another county must contact that county directly.
To obtain a death certificate by mail, complete
the application
form including a copy of their valid driver's license along with a
check or money order payable to WASHINGTON COUNTY CLERK.
CERTIFIED COPIES OF DEATH CERTIFICATES ARE $21.00 FOR THE
FIRST COPY AND $4.00 FOR EACH ADDITIONAL COPY PER REQUEST.
All requests should be mailed to: Washington County Clerk, 100 E.
Main Street, Suite 102, Brenham, TX 77833
