Nevada Vital Records: Difference between revisions

'''Birth and Death Records'''

Statewide registration of vital statistics began in 1911. The Family History Library does not have copies of the state records. You can obtain birth and death certificates by writing to:  

Office of Vital Records<br>4150 Technology Way, Suite 104<br>Carson City, Nevada 89706<br>Telephone: 775-684-4242<br>Fax: 775-684-4156<br>[http://health.nv.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=66&Itemid=135 http://health.nv.gov/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=66&amp;Itemid=135]

State your relationship to the individual and the reason you want the information. The records are restricted to immediate family members.  

The current fees for obtaining copies of the state's records are listed at [http://www.vitalrec.com/ www.vitalrec.com]. For records prior to 1911, contact the county recorder's office, or in some counties, the county health department. Some county records begin as early as 1887.  

Statewide registration of marriages and divorces began in 1968; however, many Nevada counties began keeping records at an earlier date. To obtain a marriage or a divorce record, write to the county recorder of the county where the event took place. Nevada marriage records are open to the public.  

'''Divorce Records'''

Divorce cases were handled by the probate courts until 1864 and by the district courts after that date. [http://dmla.clan.lib.nv.us/docs/NSLA/ The Nevada State Library and Archives]has the early probate court records.
