You can obtain birth records in Massachusetts from 1916 to the present. 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 alos obtain copies by internet, phone, fax, and by mail.

Certain records are restricted from public access. Identification may be required for processing some orders. 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. Access to persons other than listed below require a court order.

Access to non-marital (out-of-wedlock) births is limited by §2A, Chapter 46, M.G.L. to the following:

Subject of the record (child)

Parents listed on the record

Father not listed on the record with documentary proof that he is the father (such as a paternity adjudication, stipulation or properly completed Voluntary Acknowledgment of Parentage)

Legal guardian of the child

Legal representative of the child
