Death Indexes

Please note the Provincial Archives of Alberta is closed for vital statistics retrievals between December 24, 2024 and January 1, 2025.  Vital statistics requests received during this time will be processed beginning January 2, 2025. We look forward to assisting you in the New Year.

Please request digital copies or photocopies of vital statistics registrations using the online payment system.

Due to the recently resolved Canada Post workers strike, you may experience a delay in receiving your vital statistics order if you have requested the mail option.

Death registrations from 1870-1974 are available at the Provincial Archives of Alberta.
