Certified marriage records are official, legal documents and obtained through the Massachusetts State Registry of Vital Statistics in Boston. Each marriage 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 marriage records are valid for obtaining passports, processing "REAL ID" applications for a driver's license, applying for United States citizenship, obtaining social security benefits and for many other legal and official purposes.
The charge for locating, obtaining and shipping a Massachusetts certified marriage certificate is $45 [US]. Quantity discounts apply for duplicates of the same record ordered at the same time.
