Birth and death records in Illinois were kept on a statewide basis from January 1, 1916. Some records are found in the individual counties as early as 1871, and occasionally earlier. Marriage records continue to be kept on a county level for most areas, though the state has kept an index to these records since 1962.
For births and deaths prior to 1916, and marriage records prior to 1962, write to the clerk in the county of question.
For birth and death records after 1916, and marriages after 1962, write:
