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! The fluid but lingering pandemic closures here in Massachusetts have temporarily limited our ability to provide non certified or transcribed copies of birth, marriage or death records to our customers. This highly requested customer option is currently not available.
A transcribed record is not an official or legal document. The intended use is for genealogical research studies, background investigations, medical studies or general information. All transcribed records are sent as PDF email attachments. Expedited service not available. Click here to preview an example of a transcribed birth record.
