I'm getting ready to send a copy of my ID off for Mifflin County death certificates. Hadn't even thought about this, but you're right. It does not seem like a very safe thing to do, but if you want the info. what else can you do? Why do they need/want IDs for people asking for death certificates that are 50+ years old? I can understand for a recent death certificate, but why for genealogy research?

Not only do I think its identity theft in the waiting. But for me being a funeral director a waste of paper everytime I request a death certificate for a family, sending in my ID. And the other thing on the request form that is stupid is why do you want a death certificate, just one time I would like to put, because I want the freaking thing. Jason

Melissa, Who asked for a copy of your ID....I lived here all my life....have recieved many many copies of Death certificates and, not once have I been asked to ID.....are you sending to the Mifflin County Courthouse?
