In New Hampshire, marriage records are maintained on a statewide level by the Division of Vital Records Administration. New Hampshire has some of the oldest birth and death records in the country, but they're marriage records only date back to 1808. Still, two hundred years of history means that there's a wealth of information available in these records, which makes it a good thing that the public has access to all records before 1948.

Of course, the Division of Vital Records Administration also has recent records, but these are accessible only by those who have a definite, tangible interest as determined by New Hampshire law RSA 5-C:9.

All requests for both public and confidential records can be made in person or through the mail to the Vital Records office. However, many modern researchers have found that searching online via internet public records locaters makes finding all kinds of valuable information a lot easier.
