Death Certificate Translation in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania death certificates are issued by the Department of Health's Division of Vital Records in New Castle, and only to people with a direct interest while the record is recent; after 50 years, death records become public and pass to the State Archives.
Wills are probated by the Register of Wills in each county, with disputes going to the Orphans' Court Division.

Foreign death certificates before the Register of Wills
When a foreign death certificate has to be filed with a Register of Wills - to probate the will of someone who died abroad, or to show that a beneficiary has died - it needs a complete English translation. Registers set their own filing practice, and some want the translator's certification notarized; check with the county first, and we can notarize at our office if so.
Pennsylvania's communities bring death records from Ukraine and Russia, Italy, India and the Dominican Republic, among many other places.
