What is the difference between transcribed and certified marriage records?

Transcribed records are hand-copied from original certificates for genealogy research only and cannot be used for official purposes. Certified copies are official documents that can be used for legal purposes like passports or driver's licenses.

How long does it take to receive my marriage record transcription?

Marriage record transcriptions are delivered as PDF via email within 14-21 business days, often sooner.

What years of Massachusetts marriage records are available?

We can access Massachusetts marriage records from 1931 to present (2025) from the state registry collection.

Can I get a refund if no record is found?

The $20 service fee is non-refundable in all cases, including when no record is found, when records are restricted, or when the record lacks expected information.

What information is included in a transcribed marriage record?

Transcribed marriage records typically include both spouses' full names, date and place of marriage, ages at time of marriage, parents' names, birthplaces, occupations, marital status before marriage, and the officiant information.

Do you also offer certified marriage certificates?

Yes, we offer both transcribed records for genealogy research ($20) and certified marriage certificates for legal purposes. Visit our certified marriage certificate page for official documents that can be used for passports, driver's licenses, and other legal requirements.
