Long Island town of death, not the five boroughs, not the Suffolk County Clerk. NYC Health will not issue it. Albany issues statewide copies.
Who may request
Follow the local registrar and New York State Vital Records rules. Confirm on the town clerk page and on health.ny.gov.
What to bring
Photo ID as the local registrar lists. Confirm before you mail.
Where to write or visit
The Suffolk County Clerk does not keep birth, marriage, or death records. Use the town clerk or registrar of the place of death (Brookhaven, Babylon, Huntington, Islip, Smithtown, Southampton, and the other towns and villages). Statewide mail: New York State Department of Health, Vital Records, Albany. This is not NYC Health.
Notes from the desk
There is no single Suffolk County death-copy price on the county clerk page this check. Town registrars set local fees. State mail is $30 per copy on the NYS DOH mail-request page this check. This desk takes no cut. Do not invent a county-wide dollar amount.
