The Vital Records department is Clark County's repository for all birth and death records. In the State of Nevada these records are confidential. The distribution of birth and death certificates is regulated by Nevada Revised Statutes and the Nevada Administrative Code.

Valid identification is required to obtain a birth or death certificate.

Effective January 1, 2008 personal checks will no longer be accepted as payment for birth and death certificates.

Paternity forms are available at our Ravenholt Public Health Center.
