The CDPHE maintains an online database of death records that can be searched by name or date of death. This database is updated regularly and includes all deaths that have occurred since 1900. Additionally, some county offices may also have copies of death certificates on file that can be accessed in person or by mail.

Vital records, including birth, death, adoption, marriage, and divorce, are confidential per Colorado state statute (C.R.S. 25-2-117). As a result, Colorado vital records are not public records and therefore not searchable online. Vital records can only be released to those who are eligible.
