For a $10.00 fee we will search:

A 1-year date span: death month and year are required. OR

A combination of year of death and State File number (1901-1903). In this case, you must enter an accurate year, and select a county and month (these fields are required to submit the form, but they do not need to be accurate). Then, enter the State File number, which is also required, in the "Additional Information" section.

For a $15.00 fee we will search:

A 2-year date span: 1st year required and 2nd year will be calculated.

For May 1848 - May 1878, please use the Death Records, May 1848 - May 1878 searchable database, which indexes the death records for that date range.

And, for June 1878 - December 1900, please use the Death Records, June 1878 - December 1900 searchable database, which indexes all available death records in that date range.

Fees are non-refundable regardless of whether the record requested is found.

If we find the record requested, we will email you a digital, non-certified PDF of the record.

For certified copies:

Any record searched by the New Jersey State Archives can be certified. There is an additional $25.00 per record fee to certify a record. For more than one copy of the same record there may be an additional copy fee and the certification fee is multiplied by the number of copies. Please note in the Additional Information field that you will need a certified copy for the record you are requesting. We will email an invoice for the additional fees after the search has been completed and we verify we have the original record.
