VITAL STATS- Birth and Death Certificates
Deputy Registrar: Stacey Hiatt; Contact Number: 419-347-5131
e-mail: staceyhiatt@shelbyohio.org
The Vital Statistics division of the Shelby Health Department maintains
records of all births in the City of Shelby since 1878. Death Certificates
are available from 1908. City of Shelby births and deaths before those
dates are kept at the Richland County Probate Courthouse in Mansfield,
OH.
Births and deaths occurring in other cities, counties and states must
be obtained from those cities, counties and states. If you do not
know the location of an Ohio birth or death, you may obtain those certificates
from the Ohio Department of Health in Columbus. All original Ohio
birth and death certificates are permanently placed on file at the Ohio
Department of Health in Columbus. Their web site is http://www.odh.state.oh.us/vitalstatistics/vitalstats.aspx.
Certified copies of certificates are available at Shelby City Hall. Certified
copies cost $25.00. Certificates may be obtained through our walk-in
service or by mail and no appointment is necessary. We accept cash
or checks. All questions regarding birth and death certificate copies
or spelling corrections should be directed to the Registrar at 419-347-5131.

Another service provided by the Vital Statistics division is acknowledgement
of paternity affidavits. The completion of paternity affidavits
is voluntary and acknowledges that a parent and child relationship exists. The
affidavit places responsibility for support of the child on the alleged
father.
The Vital Statistics Department also issues burial-transit permits to
area funeral directors.
