The City Clerk issues certified copies of births, deaths, marriages, and divorce certificates to qualified individuals and agencies that provide a "direct and tangible" interest in obtaining a record.
In order to obtain certified copies of Vital Records, you must complete an application and pay a search fee. The current fee is $15.00. This fee is payable whether or not a record is found. Additional copies of the same record issued at the same time are $10.00.
For your convenience, you can request certified copies of vital records online through VitalChek.com, an official and authorized third-party provider. Additional fees will apply when using VitalChek’s services. These fees are charged by VitalChek for processing and delivery and are separate from state or local government fees for the record itself.
Effective January 1, 2005 all individuals requesting a certified copy of a record (Pursuant to RSA 5 C-9) must present positive identification, including, but not limited to, a driver’s license, passport or other picture identification, or in the absence of acceptable picture identification shall complete the form "Documentation Evidence for Individuals Not Possessing An Acceptable Picture Identification."
