Online
The state of Arizona offers the ordering of certified copies of civil status acts through the Bureau of Vital Records portal. An electronic application form with credit card payment is available on the site. Note: Online orders are processed by the state bureau, not the county clerk's office, so delivery times are usually several weeks by mail.

To order a copy by mail, send to the clerk's office:
