Death Certificate Translation in Ohio
Ohio is one of the few states where death records are open: anyone can order a certified copy of an Ohio death certificate, from the Office of Vital Statistics in Columbus or a local health department, without showing a relationship to the deceased.
That makes Ohio unusually straightforward for heirs and lawyers abroad. Estates are handled by the Probate Court of each county.

Sending an Ohio death certificate abroad
For use abroad, the certified copy is apostilled by the Ohio Secretary of State and then translated into the language of the country where the estate or pension is being settled. It pays to order several certified copies at once, because foreign institutions frequently keep the one you send.
Coming the other way, Columbus's Somali and Bhutanese-Nepali communities and the older immigrant populations of Cleveland and Cincinnati bring foreign death records for probate and immigration filings, each translated as the document it is.
