InstructionsEdit

Certificates of Stillbirth are available to the biological parents when a fetal death record is on file for a stillbirth that occurred after January 1, 1999.
This is a memento certificate, not a legal record.
As of February 3, 2010, the fee for this certified memento is $20.
You may also order a certified copy of the fetal death certificate for $20 if it is needed for legal purposes.
Currently Oregon law requires the filing of a fetal death certificate when fetal death occurs after the fetus reaches 350 grams or 20 completed weeks of gestation.
Parents may request the filing of a fetal death certificate when the law does not require one to be filled.
You may order the certificate either by mail or in person or by telephone.
Attach legible photocopy of current, valid ID.
Documents must be dated within the last thirty days and show current mailing address where record will be mailed.
If you are the parent and you have no ID or other documents, you will need to have the other parent request the stillbirth certificate or obtain ID before placing an order for the record.
