However, California does offer the option of obtaining informational copies of death records for the general public. These records contain the same information as an authorized copy; however, the document will state 'Informational, not a valid document to establish identity.'Death records are available from 1905 to present. Requests for vital records can be made by mail, phone, fax, internet, or in-person. However, certified copies of vital records can only be provided by mail or in person.
