A:
Yes, you can request official data about a deceased person from Virginia online. The Virginia Department of Health’s Division of Vital Records provides access to death certificates and other vital records. These documents can be requested through their official website or through other online services that facilitate access to public records.
To obtain a death certificate, you typically need to prove your relationship to the deceased or provide a legal reason for requesting the document. This might require you to submit documentation like your ID, proof of your relationship to the deceased (such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate), and possibly a letter explaining your reason for the request.
For more detailed instructions and to make an online request, you should visit the website of the Virginia Department of Health or contact them directly. They offer several options for obtaining records, including online requests, mail, or in-person visits, depending on what suits your needs best.
