Document Overview
An Application and Permit for Disposition of Human Remains (VS 9 form) is an official document issued by a California county health department that authorizes the burial, cremation, or other disposition of a deceased individual’s remains. It includes essential information such as the deceased’s name, date of death, location of death, method of disposition, funeral director details, and the certifying county registrar’s signature and seal.
This document serves as legal authorization for funeral homes, crematories, and cemeteries to proceed with disposition, and it is often required for the repatriation of remains to other countries.
To be valid for apostille, the form must be an original certified copy issued by the Orange County Health Care Agency Office of Vital Records or the California Department of Public Health with the official raised seal and registrar’s signature.
