After a loved one dies, you’ll need to obtain a death certificate for life insurance, bank accounts, and veterans' benefits. But what information do you need to get a death certificate?
While every state has their own requirements, you’ll at least need to provide your loved one’s full legal name, social security number, date of birth and date of death, and parents' legal names. You’ll also need to bring your ID and proof that you’re related to the deceased.
To find out about our state’s specific requirements, give us a call at (951) 898-1013. We’re happy to answer your questions and help you request any death certificates you need.
