New Hampshire Death Records
The New Hampshire Division of Vital Records Administration is the state resource for residents who
wish to obtain records of death events. DVRA also has a genealogical
research vault that is open to the public containing records that date back to the year 1640.
DVRA issues certified copies of death certificates and provides
aggregated data files to qualified individuals and agencies that demonstrate a "direct and tangible"
interest in obtaining vital records.
New Hampshire vital records are considered to be private, and access to them is restricted by
statute to those individuals who have a "direct and tangible interest" in the record. To view all of
the disclosure limitations to our records, visit the statute; RSA 5-C:16. Certain
older records are exempted from these access restrictions. Birth records prior to 1901, and
deaths, marriages and divorce records prior to 1948 are considered to have unrestricted access.
Individuals wishing to research these "genealogical" records may do so by visiting our
"Genealogical Research Center" that is located at our site at 29 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH.
Alternatively, a written request may be made to our offices, and we would research our records for you for a fee.
