Instructions for obtaining a copy of Non-Genealogical {[PNAME]}
  • Non-Genealogical Records are births occurring within the last eighty (80) years or if the individual is still living, marriages occurring within the last fifty (50) years, deaths occurring within the last forty (40) years and all civil union and domestic partnership records.

  • Certified Copies have the raised seal of the office issuing the record and are always issued on State of New Jersey safety paper. Certified copies may be used to establish identity and are legal documents.

  • Certifications are issued on plain paper with no seal and clearly indicate they are not valid for establishing identity or for legal purposes. Certifications are generally useful for genealogy. Certifications of death records do not contain the Social Security Number or the Cause of Death medical terminology.

  • Apostille Seal - An Apostille Seal is an additional seal required for certain certified records that will be presented to a foreign government that is a member of the Hague Treaty. The seal is often required on documents for international adoptions or establishing dual citizenship. Contact the consulate of the country involved to determine if you need an Apostille Seal.

    An Apostille Seal can only be obtained by first requesting certified copy of the vital record from the State Office of Vital Statistics and Registry. You would then forward this document to the New Jersey Department of Treasury, which issues the Apostille Seal. Additional information is available Here .
