Research requests for vital records data (births and deaths) require approval from a panel of reviewers, including the State Registrar and the OPH Medical Director. The following forms should be completed and uploaded into the Online Data Request Form in order for us to obtain the proper approvals:

• Application for Vital Records Data (PDF)
• Application for Vital Records Data (DOC)
• Vital Records Confidentiality Assurance Statement
• Indemnification for Use of Vital Records Data
• And the appropriate list of fields being requested:
  • Birth Field Layout Form
  • Death Field Layout Form
  • Fetal Death Field Layout Form

If you are a researcher, your data request likely requires review by the LDH Institutional Review Board. Please visit the IRB website at www.dhh.la.gov/irb for information.
