Md. State Death Certificate Fees Double July 1

Starting Sunday, it will cost more to die in Maryland.

As part of the budget approved by the Maryland General Assembly in a May special session, the state’s death certificate fees will double from $12 to $24.

It is one of many increases in fees for vital services in the past few years. In 2011, legislators doubled the
state’s birth certificate fee from $12 to $24. According to a report from the Department of Legislative
Services, neither fee had been increased since 2003.

Legislative analysts estimate the increase in death-certificate fees will raise $667,000 this year.
