Hi. I am trying to obtain a death certificate for Jennifer Williams DOB 12/4/1976 DOD 5/28/2019. I received a letter from the insurance company notifying me of her death. I have tried calling Vital records in Arizona. I have the letter and my ID and my birth certificate, this is all the info I have. Last time I spoke with Jennifer was about 2-3 years ago. She was in Utah at the time, but she might of moved. She left me an inheritance. Vital Records also said I can obtain a court order if need to. Could you please help me?
Allen, you will most likely need to obtain a certified copy of Jennifer’s death certificate in order to obtain her inheritance, which might be in probate until this is resolved. You are going through the correct channels to obtain this, through the Arizona vital records department. Unfortunately every state agency has been somewhat limited because of Covid 19.

I have been trying to view the death record of my ex-wife. I don’t need or want a copy of a death certificate. you claim that these are public records but I can’t find this information without being directed to a third party by the State of Arizona. this “non search” was and is contained wholy within Arizona and I also know the town where she died. My question is how much do these third party providers pay the state for the public information that the public is blocked from obtaining without paying them.
Clifford, you can contact the Arizona Department of Health directly to obtain a death verification. It’s unclear if they’ll charge a fee for this basic information however, to obtain certified copies of vital records there is a nominal charge

Would it be possible to locate someone without having a last name? I attended Sahuaro Elementary School in Phoenix between 1982-1984 for 7th and 8th grade. There was a boy by the name of Sam that attended with us that made a huge impact on my life. I remember people bullying him and when I finally stepped in, we heard – “What, are you his girlfriend?” I stepped in and said “Yes, yes I am,” and kissed him. He smiled from ear to ear and things were never the same in his lonely world again. Long story short – I am now a published author and have been wanting to tell his story and write about what an impact he made on all of our lives. I left for the summer between 8th grade and 9th grade year and he passed away during that time unfortunately. He was in a wheelchair and had M.S. or Muscular Dystrophy or some type of disease such as that. Needless to say, I will not be using his official name in the book, but I cannot for the life or me remember what his last name is. I have also contacted the school to get a copy of our yearbooks from that time. Is there any way to find someone without a last name or date of birth? I was born in 1969, so he would have been born in 1969 or 1970 and would have died when he was between 12 and 14 years old. I would like to pull up the obituary to see exactly when he died and find his parents so that I can send them a copy of the book as well, but I have nothing to go off of except his first name (Sam or Samuel) and the above info. Any suggestions? I appreciate any help you may be able to give. Thank you!
Your story is compelling. I wish we could be of better assistance to you but without a last name it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. In order to use our Arizona public records database to search for people we typically need a first and last name as well as an age and county of residency to filter out the many results. We have over 2 billion records in our database resources so it’s insurmountable to search though without a last name at least.
