New Hampshire Divorce Records

Each state’s divorce court records are now readily available to the general public. Some states require more information about the divorce – and your own identity than others. If you choose to go through the state for New Hampshire divorce records, you may download an application and send it through the mail to:

New Hampshire State Department
Division of Vital Records Administration
Registration/Certification
71 South Fruit Street
Concord, New Hampshire 03301-2410

New Hampshire requires that you be qualified to receive a vital record, such as your connection with the divorced party (child, spouse or other relation – or an attorney). You’ll need to fill out the downloaded application and provide the full names of the divorced couple, the date the divorce took place and the county in which the divorce was granted. Your eligibility requirements include your name, address, phone number, email address, signature and the reason why you want a copy of the decree. There will be a fee of $15 for the first copy and $10 for each one thereafter. The fees are non-refundable, even if the state doesn’t find the divorce decree you requested. You’ll also need to provide proof of identity in the form of a copy of photo identification such as a driver’s license and stamped, self-addressed envelope for return of the certificate. The state of New Hampshire does let you pay by credit card, but there may be an extra fee involved for processing.
