The URL supplied by Rod [http://vitalrec.com/al.html#State] doesn't seem to be working at the moment. This URL: http://www.alapubhealth.org/vital/vitalrcd.htm states that AL death (and birth) certificates are available by mail for $12. If the fee has gone up to $22, it happened fairly recently--I've paid $12 for every one I've received for quite some time.
