How do I obtain a copy of a Marriage Certificate?

Answer

The Clerk will have marriage records of any couple who filed their intentions in Sudbury. The Clerk does not have marriage records for couples who were married in Sudbury, but filed their intentions in another municipality. The fee for records available at Sudbury Town Hall is $15.00 for the first certified copy and $10.00 for each additional copy ordered at the same time.  Cash and checks made out to “Town of Sudbury” are accepted for payment.

Appointments are required to pick up a Marriage Certificate in-person.

To obtain a copy of a marriage certificate:

1. Call or email the Town Clerk’s Office to verify that the record you are looking for is filed here.  

2. Complete the Vital Record Request Form.

3. Bring the request form with payment to the Town Clerk’s Office or mail in the form with payment and a self-addressed, stamped envelope or Pay Online.

If you are not sure where the record you seek is filed locally, you may contact the state Registry of Vital Records and Statistics. The Registry maintains a central index and has copies of records for all births, deaths and marriages which occurred within the state.

Certified copies may be obtained through the Registry in person, by mail or by phone. Regardless of how you request copies, you should be prepared to provide the name of the subject(s) of the record, the date of the event and, if know, the city or town where the event occurred.
