FLORENCE, AZ – Pinal County Public Health has relocated its Vital Records program to better serve the public. Records are now available at the two newest Pinal County Public Health Clinics in San Tan Valley and Maricopa.

The Maricopa clinic is located at 41600 West Smith-Enke Road, Building 15. Certified copies of birth and death certificates are now available in Maricopa Tuesday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The San Tan Valley Public Health Clinic is at 36235 North Gantzel Road. Vital Records and clinic hours at this location are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Birth and death certificates are also available by mail. The address for this service is P.O. Box 2945, Florence, AZ 85132.

Pinal County Vital Records accepts cash, check or money order. Certified copies are $20 each. Amendments/corrections/establishment of paternity is a $30 fee, which includes one certified copy of the amended certificate.

Arizona is a closed records state, meaning that you have to meet certain criteria to obtain birth and death certificates.

Birth certificates are available for anyone born in the State of Arizona after 1950. Death certificates are available for anyone who passed away in the State of Arizona after January 27, 2008. If you need a birth or death certificate prior to these dates, you will need to contact the State Vital Records office in Phoenix.

As of February 7, 2012, the Vital Records location in Florence is closed.
