Only immediate family members and selected others may obtain certified copies of birth records created less than 75 years ago. Currently, there is no index to Arizona births after 1938 available online. Because county clerks sent copies to the Arizona Department of Health Services, vital records are available at both the [http://www.azdhs.gov/vital-records/fees/index.php?pg=state county] and [http://www.azdhs.gov/vital-records/birth-certificate/ State Department of Health] offices.  
"As-is" birth certificates 1950-1989 can be purchased from most local county health departments. These certificates may be less expensive than state certificates, In many counties you may purchase these certificates in person and obtain them the same day. These are not certified certificates and include limited information such as name, date of birth and parents' names. Fees vary between the different County and State Health Departments. Consult the respective websites linked in the table below for fee information.
