In the US:

Consider that if there is no birth certificate there can be no death certificate. Different jurisdictions handle the matter in different ways depending on whether the issue garners attention and support from lawmakers. However, a miscarriage doesn't normally trigger a record of birth and death.

Generally, in the United States, when fetal death occurs after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is referred to as stillbirth or Sudden Antenatal Death Syndrome. A fetal death prior to 20 weeks is a miscarriage.

Many U.S. and foreign jurisdictions now have provisions for the issuance of a civil record in these cases, in the form of a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth or a Certificate of Stillbirth, whereas other jurisdictions only provide for the issuance of a fetal death certificate.

Idaho has approved a controversial bill to create a death certificate for women who miscarry prior to 20 weeks. The certificate would not be a public record or carry any legal weight. The state currently issues death certificates for stillborns born after 20 weeks.

NYC issues death certificates for miscarriages at the request of the mother or funeral director.

You would need to check your particular jurisdiction to determine if there are any special policies.

Does a death certificate get issued in the state you die or the state of your residence?

Death certificates usually get issued in the state you die by the coroner. However, the living relatives can request a copy in the state of the dead person's residence.Added: I do NOT believe the second sentence in the above contribution is correct. A death certificate is just that - a "certificate" issued by the authority in the jurisdiction in which the decedent perished "certifying" the cause of death. It is a legal document and cannot be "duplicated" by a coroner or medical examiner of another jurisdiction.
