Tooele County Vital Records provides lifetime storage, preservation and maintenance of birth and death records, registration and screening of records for accuracy, cross-indexing birth and death records to prevent fraud, monitoring causes of death for those which may need the attention of the Medical Examiner, issuance of burial and disinterment permits and continual efforts to ensure the confidentiality of vital records. Tooele County Health Department's Vital Records processes nearly 1,000 birth certificates and over 150 death certificates each year. Nearly 1,500 combined birth and death certified copies are issued locally each year. The Vital Records computer system was upgraded to interface with the Utah State Department of Health (UDOH) to begin a paperless data exchange to provide better service. Certified copies of birth certificates can now be issued in Tooele for any birth in the State of Utah since 1953. In addition to the direct services provided to the citizens of our county, the statistics collected serve as an excellent tool for planning future services and assessing health trends.
