The City of Evanston no longer has a Vital Records office. According to the Cook County Clerk's website, under state law, you may legally obtain a copy of a death certificate if you are a relative or can prove a financial interest in an individual's death. For more information, contact the Cook County Clerk at 312-603-7790 or visit the website: https://cookcountyclerk.com/agency/birth-death-records
