Medical Amendments
- To amend the medical certification or cause of death
section on the death certificate requires the certifying
physician or medical examiner to complete and file the
notarized Affidavit of Amendment to Medical Certification of
Death, DH 434A (2005 Version) or Affidavit of Amendment to
Medical Certification of Death, DH 434 (2004 and prior).
This includes not only the cause of death and manner of
death, but also"...the date of death, hour or time of death
or the place of death other than street address..."
- There is no amendment fee associated with a medical
amendment; however, if a certification of the amended death
record is desired, a fee of $5.00 for the first copy and
$4.00 for each subsequent copy ordered at the same time is
required. Questions on the medical affidavit should be
directed to (850) 833-9240
