Place of death is a Westchester city, town, or village, not the five boroughs and not the county clerk. A death in a New York City hospital is NYC Health, even if the person lived in Westchester.
Who may request
Follow the local registrar and New York State Vital Records rules. Confirm on the local clerk page and on health.ny.gov.
What to bring
Photo ID as the local clerk lists. Confirm before you mail.
Where to write or visit
The Westchester County Clerk does not issue or record birth or death certificates. Use the local clerk in the city, town, or village of death. The county clerk publishes a list of local clerk phone numbers. Statewide mail: NYS DOH Vital Records, P.O. Box 2602, Albany, NY 12220-2602. This is not NYC Health.
Notes from the desk
No county-wide death-copy fee on the Westchester County Clerk page this check. Local clerks set their own fees. NYS DOH mail is $30 per copy this check. This desk takes no cut.
