Death Records Search

The Death Records search provides the ability to search for death records by using a variety of search criteria.

Before you begin

• Depending on your product subscription, you may not have access to this search.
• Your DPPA (Driver’s Privacy Protection Act), GLBA (Gramm‐Leach‐Bliley Act), and DMF (Death Master File) permissible use selections appear at the bottom of the form. Click the links if you need to change your permissible use selections before you run a new search.
• To view source information for this search, click Source.
• To search more broadly, complete fewer fields.

If you prefer to type the information into fewer fields, then toggle the Single Name Entry Fields and Single City, State, ZIP Code Fields Search Options switches to ON to combine the fields. When the Single Name Entry Fields switch is ON, the multiple name fields are replaced with a single field. Enter the full name of the person. When the Single City, State, ZIP Code Fields switch is ON, the multiple location fields are replaced with a single input field. ZIP Code-only and State-only input works with this option enabled; however, City-only inputs may not perform as well as desired. For optimal results, use the two-character USPS (United States Postal Service) state abbreviation (for example, FL instead of Florida). City names that are also state names may be excluded from the query. For example, California OH searches OH.

At a minimum, you must provide information in one of the following field groups:

• First Name, Middle Name or Initial, and Last Name
• Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code

1. Enter the SSN (Social Security number) with or without dashes or spaces (for example, 123456789, 123-45-6789, or 123 45 6789).
2. Enter the LexID^® number that is assigned by LexisNexis^® Risk Solutions with or without dashes (for example, 0123-4567-8901 or 012345678901).
3. Enter the last name.

   Toggle the Include Similar-Sounding Last Names switch ON to include or exclude names that match, sound like, or have a similar spelling.

4. Enter the first name.

   Toggle the Include Nicknames of First Name switch ON to include nicknames.

5. Enter the middle name or the middle initial.
6. Enter the street address with or without numbers.
   You can also include any other details (for example, Ave, St, Ct, or Blvd).
7. Enter the city.
8. Select the state.
9. Enter the ZIP Code (for example, 12345 or 12345-6789).
10. Enter the DOB (date of birth) in MM/dd/yyyy format (for example, 02/14/1963).
11. Enter the DOD (date of death) in MM/dd/yyyy format (for example, 02/14/1963).
12. Toggle the Include Bankruptcies switch ON to include bankruptcy information that is associated with the subject.
13. To associate your search with a customer or a topic, provide a label (for example, the customer's name or a topic name) in the Reference ID field.
    The History function lets you view the searches that are associated with a reference ID.

    Your organization may require a reference ID in a particular format. Additionally, the contents of this field may be automatically completed or the field may have restrictions that are configured by your administrator.
