New Hampshire Public Records at a Glance
New Hampshire runs lean. Courts consolidated into a single statewide structure, with electronic case access growing branch by branch — the New Hampshire court records page explains what is online versus what requires a clerk request. The State Police Criminal Records Unit issues criminal history reports, mostly to the person of record or with consent. Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates flow through the Division of Vital Records Administration and any city or town clerk — New Hampshire's statewide network lets a clerk in Keene print a certificate for an event in Concord. Registries of deeds operate in all 10 counties, every one with free online search. All 112 sources below are official.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are public records organized in New Hampshire?▼
New Hampshire keeps public records at three levels: federal (FBI, federal courts via PACER), state (court of last resort, state police, department of health, secretary of state), and county-level (sheriffs, clerks, recorders, assessors). Each county maintains its own court, criminal-justice, property, and vital-records offices linked from the county pages below.
Where do I start a New Hampshire court-case search?▼
For statewide trial-court information, start at the New Hampshire Judicial Branch: www.courts.nh.gov. New Hampshire federal cases are searched through PACER. For local case dockets, see the Court Records tab and the county page for your area.
How do I get an official New Hampshire background check?▼
New Hampshire's official statewide criminal-history check is run by the New Hampshire State Police at www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov. Most state-level checks require fingerprints and a fee. A nationwide FBI Identity History Summary is available separately.
Where do I obtain New Hampshire birth, death, or marriage certificates?▼
Certified New Hampshire vital records are issued by the Official New Hampshire Vital Records at www.sos.nh.gov. Recent local events (births, deaths, marriages) can often also be requested from the county clerk or local registrar where the event was filed.
What does it cost to access New Hampshire public records?▼
Most online record indexes in New Hampshire are free to search; fees apply for certified copies, fingerprint background checks, full document images at the recorder, and statewide bulk data. Each agency publishes its current fee schedule — for example the New Hampshire Judicial Branch (courts), the Official New Hampshire Vital Records (vital records), the Official New Hampshire Voter Records (elections), and the Official New Hampshire Professional & Occupational Licenses (licenses).
