Registry: Birth, Death, and Marriage
The Registry Division issues birth, death, and marriage certificates for the City of Boston. We also issue marriage licenses.
For certified copies of Boston birth, death, and marriage certificates with a raised seal, you can apply online, by mail, or in person. To file for a marriage license, review our how to get married in Boston page.
