Vital Records (Birth, Death, Marriage records)

Obtaining Certified Copies of Jackson Vital Records

The Town Clerk of Jackson issues certified copies of birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates to qualified individuals and agencies that provide a "direct and tangible" interest in obtaining a record. Click here to find out about your access rights to our records.

Effective January 1, 2005 all individuals requesting a certified copy of a record (pursuant to RSA 5-C: 102, VI) must present positive identification, including, but not limited to, a driver’s license or other picture identification containing an address. Requests to send the document(s) to a third party address cannot be honored unless you submit a signed NOTARIZED statement on the copy of the picture ID requesting the alternate address destination.

Individuals not possessing a state issued ID should reference the state vital records website for approved alternate forms of ID. Please note that a passport does not contain a mailing address and therefore an additional positive form of ID with a matching name and mailing address must be included.

Send the completed application (with payment and photo identification) to:

Jackson Town Clerk
Vital Records Request
PO Box 336
Jackson, NH  03846
