Maine Vital Records 1892-1922

Systematic registration of births, deaths, and marriages on a state-wide level began in Maine in the year 1892. Microfilm copies of these records man be found in our Research Room and at selected locations around the state. They are arranged by last name alphabetically, then year-by-year by that surname. The Archives also has the originals of these records for those who need certified copies. The cost is $10.00 per certified copy or $6.00 for an uncertified copy.

When requesting a record from this period, please include as much information as possible, such as parents' names if you have them. The fee assessed includes searching a five-year period for the requested record. THE FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE WHETHER THE RECORD IS FOUND OR NOT.
