A short form copy of a death certificate, also referred to as an "abstract", is an abbreviated version of the long form or original certificate. The short form is the traditional looking copy with colored borders and will satisfy most purposes or needs for a death certificate such as death benefits, claim insurance proceeds, notify social security, and other legal purposes. While vital record keeping began in 1910, some delayed certificates may be available before 1910. However, there is no guarantee of a record's existence either before or after 1910.
