Illinois Vital Statistics Directory

In Illinois, vital records are managed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Vital Records and the County Clerk’s office. Vital records include birth, death, marriage, and divorce records.

Illinois birth records are only accessible by the registrant, the parents, legal guardians, or legal representatives. Death records are also restricted and may only be accessed by those with a personal or property right interest in the decedent. Birth and death records are available from the Department of Public Health from 1916 to present. Birth and death records prior to 1916 can be obtained by contacting the County Clerk where the event occurred.

Marriage and divorce records must be obtained in the Circuit Court in the county where the event occurred.
