Description: The Vital Statistics office at the Ross County Health District is mandated to record and keep on file all births and deaths that take place in Ross County - including Chillicothe.
Vital Statistics issues certified copies of birth and death records, as well as burial permits. The cost of certified birth and death records is $20 and burial permits are $3. These may be requested in person or in writing.
Simply supply the name of the person whose birth or death record you are requesting (name at the time of birth, or at the time of death). Dates are not required, but if known they will be helpful if the event that there are additional persons sharing the same name. Be sure to supply a return address. Typically, requests are processed at the time they are received, but this is not guaranteed.
We accept checks from local residents, and money orders for all of those outside of Ross County. We're sorry but at this time we do not accept payment via credit or debit cards. There is a $15 charge for returned checks.
Genealogists are welcome to stop in our office and view our birth and death records. Most date from 1907, but a few date back to 1888.
Forms: Application for Certified Copies - Save or copy and mail in with payment of $20.
