The Town Clerk has custody of birth and death records. Copies are available - please see the attached instructions for obtaining a birth or death certificate, and use the application below. We can not process a request unless the application is complete. The fee for the copy is $10. After July 1, any town clerk will be able to issue copies of any Vermont birth or death records that occurred on or after January 1, 1909, regardless of where in Vermont the event took place.
