New Hampshire Public Records

The New Hampshire Department of State, Division of Vital Records Administration manages birth and death records from local towns and counties from 1640 to present. The division does not issue certificates online, so all records should be acquired by mail, in person or at a local town clerk. Searches cost $15 dollars for their first certificate and $10 dollars each additional copy. Birth records from 1988 and death records from 1990 from any town are available at any other town clerk with the newest computer systems.
