The cost is $22.00 each for Certified Birth/Death Certificates.  Records on file are from 1908 to present; earlier records are located at the Sandusky County Courthouse.  At this health department, certificates are provided on demand if arriving in person.  Certificates requested via US Mail have same day turn around.  All birth and death records are maintained in the county where the birth or death occurs. Bellevue City (of which part is located in Sandusky County) has their own health department.  We recommend you call ahead (419-334-6377) if you believe the birth or death occurred in Sandusky County, to be sure we maintain the record.
