To begin, add a birth record or view a list of locations and resources for New Hampshire birth records.

In New Hampshire, birth records are truly a rich resource. While some states have birth records that date back less than a hundred years, New Hampshire's birth records date back to 1640. These records are maintained by the New Hampshire Division of Vital Records Administration, which, of course, has all modern era New Hampshire birth records as well.

New Hampshire statute RSA 5-C:9 dictates that vital records are generally considered to be confidential. However, this doesn't apply to birth records that date before 1901; such records are open to the public for research. Anyone who needs to find a New Hampshire birth record can mail in a request or visit the Division of Vital Records Administration in person.

However, there is a much faster way to get the New Hampshire birth records you need, and that is to use an internet public records finder. It will make your search quicker and much more convenient.
