By Claire Dowell


Since the Freedom of Information was implemented, the state of Colorado has opened the documents of the state to the public. Colorado death records are one of the documents that the local people of the state can access. This has let the people access the files that they need easily.

Death of an individual, who resides in the state of Colorado, automatically generates a death certificate. On this document, information about the person's death is the primary focus of the document. One would know the name of the person who died as well as details about the place and the date when the individual died. Additional information that can be found on the document includes the address where the person who died lived and the names of the deceased family members.

Death records are one of the vital documents that are used by people who are conducting a genealogy research. The information that can be found on the file is important in updating the family tree. People would be able to find out the whereabouts of an individual through this type of research. Death records are also used by the relatives of the deceased person in claiming insurance benefits. A widowed spouse is required to present the death certificate of the late spouse should he/she plans to remarry.

There are several places to go to when planning to know about the death of an individual who resides in Colorado. The state library has archives of newspaper collection which has the obituary notices where one can individual check them out. However, this method may take a while and can be very tedious. This is only applicable if one only wants to know about the death of an individual since the certified document cannot be obtained from this method.

A certified copy of a death certificate can be obtained from the office of the Vital Records Section in Colorado. The retrieval of the document would only cost $20 per copy. The said office only releases records that have been registered since 1900. If one needs to get records that have been registered before the year 1900, one has to check with the office of the county clerk where the person died and the death has been registered.

Retrieval of a death record has been made easier with the help of the Internet. Now public death notices are not only found on newspapers but also published online. A certified copy of a death certificate can also be obtained from several websites. This is a lot convenient compared to getting the document at the office.
