Where to get birth certificate in Massachusetts for baby?

Answer 1

Access to restricted birth and marriage records is limited by §2A, Chapter 46, M.G.L. For those persons with access to restricted records, proof of identity (a photo ID) is necessary, and in some cases additional documentation is also necessary.

You can obtain copies of birth records at the Registry of Vital Records and Statistics counter. The cost for each certified copy of a record is $18.00 at the Registry counter which includes a ten-year search if the exact date and place of event is not known.

You can also order by internet, phone, or fax through Vital Check.

You can also request copies by mail:

Registry of Vital Records and Statistics

150 Mt. Vernon Street, 1st Floor

Dorchester, MA 02125-3105

Make your check or money order payable to "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts". Enclose a business-size self-addressed envelope. The cost of each record includes a ten-year search if the exact date or place of event is not known.

• Regular Mail - The cost for each record ordered by mail is $28.00. Orders are normally processed within 20-30 business days of receipt. If faster service is required on your mail order, these services are also available:
• Expedited Mail - The cost for expedited mail service is $37.00 for each certified copy. Address your envelope to the attention of "Expedited Mail Service." Your order will be processed within seven to ten business days of receipt. (Research is not available via expedited mail service.)
