The Sutter County Public Health Branch Vital Statistics program helps the community obtain Birth Certificates, Death Certificates, and Burial permits.

The Public Health Branch holds only current year and prior year Birth and Death Certificates for all births and deaths occurring in Sutter County. For all other years, Birth and Death Certificates and by-mail requests for certified copies please contact the Sutter County Clerk-Recorder’s Office at 530-822-7134 or visit the Clerk-Recorder's website. For births at Adventist Health and Rideout Hospital, please contact Yuba County at 530-749-7850, as these Birth Certificates are held by Yuba County. 

Because of the increased occurrence of identity theft, new laws were passed to protect birth and death records from misuse. The steps necessary to obtain Birth or Death Certificates have changed significantly. View detailed information on the new procedures and requirements for Birth and Death Certificate Requests.
