Connecticut Birth Records

Connecticut Birth Records offices are located in each of the 169 towns in Connecticut.

The vital records registrar in each town is responsible for maintaining a registry of all births, marriages, civil unions, deaths and fetal deaths that occur within its Connecticut Towns.

The Vital Records Office at the Connecticut Department of Public Health maintains a statewide registry of all births, marriages, civil unions, deaths and fetal deaths which have occurred in CT since July 1, 1897.

For vital records prior to that date, you must contact the town where the vital event occurred see the Connecticut Town Clerk and Registrar Directory

You may also contact the Connecticut State Library Genealogy Unit or by telephone at (860) 757-6580. The State Library's Barbour Collection includes most CT vital records to about 1850.
