Vital Records
Birth / Death / Marriage Certificates
How do I get a certified copy of a birth, death, divorce, or marriage certificate?
You can request a certified copy in writing either by mail, on-line or in person. You must be a member of the immediate family (no cousins, no in-laws) or have a direct and tangible interest in the record. The cost of the certified copy is $15.00 for the first copy and $10.00 for any subsequent copies ordered at the same time for the same person. The written request will need to include the name(s) of the registrant(s) and approximate date of the event. Also you must state your relationship or your interest in the record. As of 1/1/05 NH State Law requires identification when requesting a certified record or search. You will need to send a copy of your picture ID when requesting a record by mail, or show picture ID when you come in person.
