The Town Clerk is responsible for the recording of all vital events that occur in the Town. Vital events include marriages, divorces, civil unions, dissolution of civil unions, deaths, and births.
Per New Hampshire state law, vital records are considered closed records and are only accessible to immediate family members.
Copies of vital record events for births dating 1982, marriages dating 1989, and deaths dating from 1990 to the present are available at the Town Clerk's office, regardless of where in the State of NH the event took place. Copies of vital records for events occurring prior to these dates must be obtained through the NH clerk's office where the event took place.
Copies of vital record events for divorces from 1990 and civil union dissolutions dating from 2008 to within six months from the present search date are available at the Town Clerk's office, regardless of where in the State of NH the event took place. Copies of these records prior to these dates can be obtained at the court where the event took place.
Fees
Certified copy fees are $15 for the first copy of the record and $10 for each additional copy requested at the same time. Checks are payable to the Town of Moultonborough.
