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. Death certificates are available only
for Washington County. Anyone needing a death certificate for someone who
passed away in another county must contact that County directly.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our office
at (979) 277-6200.
