The Clerk & Recorder can process Birth and Death Certificate Orders remotely, not in person. Allow for a longer turnaround time than usual during COVID-19.
Orders will be mailed back via United States Postal Service to mailing address provided on Request Form. In person orders are not conducted.
Orders must be placed properly and completely with a request form, copy of eligible Requestor's acceptable form of ID, and placed in the Mail, UPS, FedEx or one of the 5 voting drop boxes around the County
Payment must also be included (check is best), payable to "Summit County Clerk & Recorder". Fee is $20 for the first copy of a Birth or Death Certificate, $13 for each additional copy, per order. (Example: 2 copies of the same Registrant's Birth Certificate = $33)
