• You can request in person or via the mail
• Certified copies are $10.00 each
• We accept cash or check
• Vital records before 1900 are considered “genealogy research” costing $10.00 and then $10.00 for a certified copy
• Vital records are kept in the resident community, occurrence community and Boston Vital Records.
• Vital records do not cross state lines (if a birth or death happened out of state-we would never receive the record)

Marriage Certificates 

There is a three-day waiting period before picking up the “Certificate of Marriage”. Both parties do not need to be present to pick-up the license.

If wedding is performed by an officiant other than a clergy or Justice of the Peace, the person performing the service needs to get a Certificate from the Secretary of State’s office to be a “One Day Solemnizer”. More information on this is available at the Secretary of State's website below.

We can supply a list of the local Justices of the Peace if needed.

Wherever the couple applies for the Marriage License, that is where they will always get a certified copy, it doesn’t move around with you.

• $20.00 filing fee and $10.00 per certified copy after marriage
• Both parties must be present with a Passport or Certificated Birth Certificate
• Applicants under 18 need parental approval.
