Bristol Vital Statistics

Vital records are a key part of a Bristol white pages search. Birth certificates, death records, and marriage licenses help verify who someone is and where they have roots in the area. The Bristol Town Clerk serves as the registrar of vital statistics under Section 7-51. The office holds original certificates for all births, marriages, and deaths that took place in Bristol.

You can request copies at the Town Clerk office in person or by mail. If you need a record from outside Bristol, or if the local office does not have what you need, the Connecticut Department of Public Health maintains state-level copies. For events that happened in Bristol itself, the local clerk is the faster route. Fees for certified copies vary, so call ahead to confirm the current rates.

Note: Some vital records have restrictions on who can request them, depending on the relationship to the person named on the certificate.
