Obtaining a Death Certificate

If your loved one has succumbed to mesothelioma, a death certificate may provide the clearest and most definitive way of determining a cause of death and provide guidance on whether you may have a case. However, even if the death certificate does not list mesothelioma as the cause of death, this does not mean you should stop pursing a case. Let us help you determine the best course of action. You can find instructions on obtaining death certificates in the state of New York below.

  • Complete the Death Certificate Application form
  • A $30.00 standard fee is required
  • Checks can be made payable to New York State Department of Health and can be mailed to the following:

Source: EWG Action Fund analysis of shipment invoices from Libby, MT.

*Numerous shipment invoices from Libby that were tallied by U.S. EPA did not include a specific street address for the destination, the tons shipped, or dates of shipment; some invoices lacked all this information, based on the EPA database in which the tabulations are recorded. As a result, the 'tons shipped' data presented here likely underestimate the actual amount of asbestos shipped to specific destinations, states, or for the United States as a whole.
