Obtaining Copies of Death Certificates
The Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics will issue up to four copies of a Veteran's death certificate free of charge. The death certificates are only available to qualified individuals who include a representative of the Veteran's estate, a trustee of a revocable trust of which the Veteran was the settler, or a person who needs a copy of the death certificate for the purpose of satisfying an eligibility requirement for a benefit relating to the death of the Veteran.
