I recommend: Visit the Wisconsin vital services online page for information regarding Wisconsin death certificates and other vital records. This page explains that they can not accept telephone or online orders, so you must write, fax or go in person to get the vital record you need. Public Records provides rates for Wisconsin divorce records, birth, marriage, divorce and other vital records.
