Washington County records: birth certificates, death certificates, public records and medical record confusion

Open MD vital recordsCounty window is time-limited
Washington County, Oregon issues certified birth and death records for events in the county after the original record is registered and filed. County service is available only up to the last day of the fifth month from the event date.
Open OR vital records| Record type | Best route | Prepare first | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| Birth certificate | Use the health department or state vital records office for the state where the birth occurred. | Full name at birth, date of birth, place of birth, parent names, ID and payment. | Trying to order from the county where you live now instead of where the birth happened. |
| Death certificate | Use the local or state vital records route for the state where the death occurred. | Decedent name, date of death, place of death, requester ID, entitlement documents and payment. | Not asking whether the receiving agency needs a certified copy. |
| Environmental health public record | Use Environmental Health or public information request route. | Property address, business name, permit type, inspection date, county and your contact details. | Submitting a broad request instead of a specific property or record request. |
| Medical record | Use the clinic, hospital or provider that delivered care. | Patient name, date of birth, dates of service, signed release and ID. | Sending medical chart requests to a public records office. |
| Immunization record | Use the provider, state registry, school record route or local health department depending on state. | Name, date of birth, photo ID, old vaccine card and parent/guardian details for minors. | Assuming the local office has every vaccine ever received. |
Before paying, ask the receiving agency exactly what it accepts: certified birth certificate, certified death certificate, informational copy, marriage record, court record, immunization record, medical record or environmental health inspection record.
