You must have full name, exact date and place of marriage to order from the New Hampshire Department of State Division of Vital Records Administration. If you do not have the exact information, contact the Vital Records Office for more information. They may be able to do a search.

Certified Copies of Marriage Certificates Please allow approximately two weeks from the date of the ceremony before requesting certified copies. You may then contact any New Hampshire city/town clerk to obtain certified copies. The state-set fee for one certified copy is $15.

The divorce certificate is available from the New Hampshire Division of Vital Records Administration (DVRA), New Hampshire town or city clerks, or the New Hampshire Superior Court or Family Division. A certified divorce decree is available from the Superior or Family Division courts.

New Hampshire is a "Closed Record" State, which means that only certain individuals have access to birth, death, marriage or divorce records. Access is granted to the individual the record belongs to, their immediate family members or someone who establishes a direct and tangible interest in the record.

But you and your partner may choose not to get married and enter instead into what is known as a "common-law marriage". This type of relationship can give you many of the same benefits as married couples, but only in certain states - and it's not always automatic.

Searching Public Records You can access vital records, including marriage records, online or in person at the courthouse of the city where the marriage was likely to occur, and you can usually see a copy for free or for a small fee.
