The City Clerk’s office provides certified copies of New Hampshire marriage records, to immediate family members who provide identification along with a written request, in situations where the license was obtained in Somersworth prior to 1989, or state-wide from 1989 to the present. The first copy of the record is $15.00 while each additional copy printed at the time is $10.00. You may apply in person or through the mail. Please make your check payable to the City of Somersworth.

We need the following information: groom’s name, bride’s maiden name, date of marriage, place of marriage, purpose for request, signature, relationship (to the bride / groom). Mail your request, with a copy of your license or photo ID to the Office of the City Clerk, City of Somersworth, One Government Way, Somersworth, New Hampshire 03878.
