Vital Statistics on Demand

 

In 2014 Preble County Public Health added a vital statistics kiosk. The onsite kiosk allows the public to do a web search for Ohio births and deaths, as well as see what Ohio county a birth or death took place. Birth certificates can be found from December 1908 - present and death certificates from 1954 - present.

 

The kiosk is available anytime during our regular business hours, no appointment necessary.
