Birth Records
If the person was born in Ohio in 1908 or later, you can get a certified copy of the birth record from us. Beginning January 2011, many local Ohio health departments can issue birth records for Ohio births regardless of where the birth occurred. Check with your nearest local health department for more information. For births or deaths that happen outside of Ohio, see Center for Disease Control National Center for Health Statistics.

If the death occurred outside of Tuscarawas County, you can contact the county or city health department where the birth or death happened. For births or deaths that happen outside of Ohio, see Center for Disease Control National Center for Health Statistics.
