Ohio Affidavit Correction of Death or Fetal Death Record is a legal document issued by a local Ohio registrar or Ohio Department of Health Vital Statistics Office. It is used to correct errors or omissions on a death or fetal death record. The affidavit can be used to correct information such as the date or place of death, correct the legal name of the deceased, or add information such as Social Security numbers or birthdates. There are two types of Ohio Affidavit Correction of Death or Fetal Death Record: the Certificate of Correction of Death or Fetal Death Record and the Affidavit of Correction of Death or Fetal Death Record. The Certificate of Correction is used to make changes to the original death or fetal death record and requires the signature of a funeral director, physician, or coroner. The Affidavit of Correction is typically used to make corrections to the original death or fetal death record that do not require the signature of a funeral director, physician, or coroner. Both types of documents must be completed and submitted with supporting evidence to the Ohio Department of Health Vital Statistics Office for review and approval.
