Divorce records from New Hampshire, like those from the rest of the country, can be just as important as any other vital record. However, many states don't keep divorce records in the same way that they keep birth, death, and marriage records, which can be frustrating to many researchers.

Luckily, this isn't the case in New Hampshire, where the Division of Vital Records Administration has been keeping divorce records since 1808. This means that finding the divorce records you need is easier than you might think.

Records since 1948 are deemed confidential by New Hampshire law RSA 5-C:9, but all older records are available to the public.

Researchers can submit requests in person or by mail if they have the time or opportunity. For those that can neither wait nor travel, another alternative is to get the information they need by using an online public records finder.

New Hampshire divorce certificates are available from the year 1808, but must be obtained from the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the divorce was granted. The fee is $12.00, and you may need to show proof of legal necessity or relationship rights to any requested information. For more information visit: New Hampshire Division of Vital Records
