Birth, Death & Marriage Copies
The Moreau Town Clerk's Office
follows the guidelines as set forth by the New York
State Health Department (Vital Records Section) for all
searches of birth, death or marriage records.
Please do not ask my office to
"bend the rules" because another office you may have
visited did not follow these same guidelines.
Please do not expect us to search for
your records while you wait. We have many duties and
responsibilities and we will fill your request as soon
as possible. We will do our best to locate the record
(s) you are requesting in the shortest possible
time...however, we need your cooperation.
Applicants must complete a written application. NO
INFORMATION WILL BE FURNISHED OVER THE TELEPHONE.
Applicants must pay the required fee
for each search and Certified Copy, for each search and
Certified Transcript or for each search and No Record
Certification Form. Effective August 1, 2003 the New
York State Department of Health set the following fee
schedule:
Certified Transcripts & Certifications of Birth,
Death and Marriage are $10.00 per copy.
No fee is charged for copies of
records needed for school entrance, working papers,
welfare assistance or veterans benefits.
Birth, death and marriage records are
confidential and are not open for public inspection. THE
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO VITAL
RECORDS. Section 4173 of the NYS Public Health Law and
Part 35 of the State Commissioner's Administrative Rules
& Regulations place restrictions on access to these
records.
Searching of records must be conducted only by the
Registrar, the Deputy Registrar or an authorized
employee of the Registrar. In the Town of Moreau, the
