A Heavenly Gates obituary is not a certified legal record. Louisiana Department of Health issues certified death certificates for eligible requesters when the death occurred in Louisiana.
| Record method | Official fee | Important detail |
|---|---|---|
| Louisiana Vital Records death certificate | $7 per copy | Current state fee for certified copies. |
| Participating clerk-of-court copy | $26 per copy | Separate state-listed fee for clerk-issued death certificates. |
| Mail order | Additional $0.50 | State handling charge added to each mail order. |
| VitalChek online/phone order | Additional charges | Vendor security, processing and shipping charges may apply. |
Who can request a Louisiana death certificate?
Eligible applicants include a surviving spouse listed on the record, parents, adult children, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren. Certain legal representatives, documented beneficiaries and others listed under Louisiana law may also qualify.
Louisiana requires a completed application, required fees and acceptable identity documentation. A requester generally needs one primary ID or two acceptable secondary IDs.
How to order
- Confirm the state of death. Use Louisiana records only for a death that occurred in Louisiana.
- Check eligibility. Confirm that your family, beneficiary or legal relationship qualifies.
- Prepare identity documents. Follow the state’s primary or secondary ID requirements.
- Choose a method. Use Louisiana Vital Records, a participating clerk of court, mail or authorised VitalChek ordering.
- Review the total fee. Compare certificate cost with mail or vendor charges.
- Keep your confirmation. Save order receipts and tracking details.
