Vital Statistics
Certified copies of birth, death and marriage records are available through the City Clerk’s office. The City only maintains records for births and deaths that occurred within the City of Beacon. Marriage records are maintained by the municipality from which the marriage license was issued (this may, in some instances, differ from the municipality in which you were married).
Note, all records (regardless of municipality) are maintained by New York State. Certified copies of those records are available through the NYS Health Department. You may find guidelines as to eligibility requirements here.
Copies of all vital statistics may be obtained through The City of Beacon Self-Service module, including applications for marriage licenses. We accept payment by Discover, MasterCard, Visa, and electronic checks for all services. (Please note that credit card transactions include a $2.00 service fee)
Upon completion of the application, photo ID and supporting documents must be sent to records@beaconny.gov. Your application will NOT be processed until we receive the required documentation.
