Notice: I.C. 16-1-16-18 requires the showing of at least one (1) form of identification to issue a certified copy of a birth or death record. If this record is being requested through the mail, a Xerox copy of the requestor’s driver’s license is required. You must be 18 years of age or older to obtain a certified copy of a record. Legitimate birth records are issued to the individual named on the record, a parent or guardian, (Guardianship papers must be presented) spouse, grandparent, brother, sister (21 years or older) or children.

We have records of persons only in Owen County. We have no records prior to 1882. Many births have never been recorded and/or are incomplete. Also, many handwritten records are very difficult to decipher.
