Massachusetts Marriage Records
Online Order Form to Obtain Transcribed Copies
for Genealogical Information
From 1931 - 2021*

Transcribed marriage records are obtained and processed at the Massachusetts State Registry of Vital Statistics' collection of statewide marriage records in Boston. Marriage records from 2022 and 2023 still need to be indexed.
Each original marriage certificate is carefully and meticulously hand transcribed for accuracy and detail by one of our genealogists.
The staff at Massachusetts Document Retrieval, with over 30 years of genealogical research experience, painstakingly hand records all pertinent genealogical information for you as if it was our ancestor.
You can read more about the recorded genealogical information on a Massachusetts State-certified marriage record here.

The fee for finding, transcribing, and sending Massachusetts marriage records to your email as a PDF is $20. Turnaround time is 10 - 14 business days. Unfortunately, there is no option to expedite transcriptions.
Though valuable for their information, these genealogical transcriptions are NOT valid for obtaining passports, processing "REAL ID" applications, renewing driver's licenses, filing for divorce, getting United States citizenship and social security benefits, or for ANY other legal purpose.
Suppose you need a certified state copy of a marriage certificate and not a transcription for genealogy as described above. You can order a certified copy on our Massachusetts Marriage Certificate website.
The fee for obtaining and mailing a Massachusetts-certified marriage record by first-class mail is $45. Turnaround time usually is 10 - 14 business days, but expediting a certified copy is possible.
