At Massachusetts Document Retrieval, we transcribe original marriage records from 1931 and up through the present* at the Massachusetts State Registry of Vital Records and Statistics Office in Boston.

At the Registry, we access a statewide, proprietary, public marriage records collection encompassing millions of marriage records. This 92-year marriage records collection is only accessible onsite and not online.

With over 30+ years of genealogical research experience, we carefully and meticulously hand-transcribe all pertinent marriage-related information for you as if it were our ancestor.

Genealogical marriage-related information about your family members is abstracted and entered into our own self-designed record forms to create your personal PDF.

Here is an example of a transcribed Massachusetts marriage record, saved as a PDF.

You can learn more about the detailed information recorded on State-certified marriage records here on this website.

The fee for transcribing a marriage record and sending it to you as an emailed PDF within 10 - 14 business days, is $20.

Important Note: These transcribed marriage records are valuable for their detailed family information but are only meant for family history. Transcribed records are NOT valid for any official purpose.

If you need a state-certified copy of a marriage record for any legal or official purpose, such as obtaining or renewing a passport, processing a "REAL ID" application, renewing a driver's license, getting United States citizenship and social security benefits, or other legal purposes, order a certified copy here on our order form for a Massachusetts Certificate of Marriage.
