Vital Statistics

This includes birth, death and marriage records.  The Kandiyohi County Recorder's Office is able to process requests for Certified copies of Births for the entire State of Minnesota for any birth occurring from 1935 to the present and for Deaths for the entire State of Minnesota for any death occurring from 1997 to the present in the State of Minnesota.  For births before 1935 and deaths prior to 1997 you will need to contact the county of birth/death.
