long-form death certificate
If you are translating for the US (or Canadian) market, the term to use is "long-form", for both birth and death certificates. "Standard" certificates certify little more than the fact of a named individual's birth or death at a time and place. "Long-form" or "vault" certificates provide more information.
There is no need at all to mention "certified copy". *That goes without saying.* The original record stays in the vital records vault; the only thing that can ever be used elsewhere as proof of birth or death is a copy of it.
