Would a death certificate be recorded in a state you were visiting or by your state of residence?

Say you lived in California but were visiting relatives in Texas and then died on the visit, would the death certificate be Texas State issued or California?

It would be issued by the coroner’s office with jurisdiction. Usually this is the the on for the county/city in which you died, rather than the actual state.

If you died in Texas, it would have the Texas stamp on it.

    Death Certificate would be issued by whatever state the death occurred in.
