Death Certificate Translation in Florida
Florida issues death certificates in two versions. Anyone may order one without the cause of death. The version with the cause of death is confidential for 50 years and goes only to the spouse, parents, adult children, grandchildren or siblings, to someone who documents an interest in the estate, or to someone acting for one of them.
Copies come from the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville or any county health department.

Which version to translate
For an estate abroad, a foreign pension or a life insurance claim, the version with the cause of death is usually the one to use. Insurers and foreign authorities expect to see it, and translating the version without it can mean ordering and translating a second certificate later.
For documents coming the other way - a relative's death certificate from Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia or Haiti, needed for a Florida estate or to show that an earlier marriage ended - the translation includes every entry, marginal notes and registry references included.
