Massachusetts Birth Record - State Certified, Embossed with Raised State Seal.

Certified birth records are official, legal documents and obtained through the Massachusetts State Registry of Vital Statistics in Boston. Each birth certificate is embossed with the official raised Massachusetts state seal, signed by the State Registrar, printed on secure, watermarked paper and contains a scanned, digital barcode for tracking.

Certified birth records are valid for obtaining passports, processing "REAL ID" applications, providing proof of age, United States citizenship, obtaining social security benefits and many other legal purposes.

The charge for locating, obtaining and shipping a Massachusetts certified birth certificate is $45 [US]. Quantity discounts apply for duplicates of the same record ordered at the same time.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to renovation and construction delays, the public research room at the Registry of Vital Records remains closed. Our ability to provide non certified or transcribed copies of birth records should begin again in early November 2021.
