Farmers Loop Overview
Farmers Loop Death Records and the State System
Farmers Loop is a census-designated place in Fairbanks North Star Borough, located north of Fairbanks along a loop road that runs through the hills above the city. All death records for Farmers Loop residents are held by the Health Analytics and Vital Records Section (HAVRS) at the state level. The Fairbanks North Star Borough at fnsb.gov handles local government matters but does not store or issue death certificates.
Alaska Statute AS 18.50 governs all vital records statewide. Death records are restricted for 50 years from the date of death. Records from before 1975 are now publicly available. Records from 1975 onward require proof of an eligible relationship to the deceased, such as being a spouse, parent, child, or sibling.
Because Farmers Loop is a suburban community within the greater Fairbanks area, death records for its residents are part of the Fairbanks North Star Borough filing system within HAVRS. The broader Fairbanks area has documented death records dating back to 1907, when the Fairbanks Precinct records begin. These territorial-era records are now accessible through the Alaska State Archives and FamilySearch.
