Middlesex County Search Resources

Middlesex County sits in the middle of Connecticut along the river. It has 15 towns but only one city over 25,000 people. Middletown has a population around 48,600 and is the main place for records in this area. The Middletown town clerk is at (860) 638-4960. Smaller towns like Cromwell, Portland, East Hampton, and Clinton each have their own clerk offices too. All of them handle vital records, land records, and other public documents.

Connecticut got rid of county governments in 1960. So Middlesex County has no central office for records. Everything goes through the individual towns. Town clerks serve as registrars under Section 7-51 of state law. They keep birth, death, and marriage records. They also file land records under Section 7-34a and maintain trade name certificates. When searching for someone in Middlesex County, the town where they live is your first stop.

State-level tools fill in the gaps. These databases pull records from across Middlesex County and the rest of Connecticut, so you do not have to check each town one by one.

Find People in Middlesex County

The state runs several free search tools that cover Middlesex County. The most useful one for people searches is the civil case lookup through the Connecticut Judicial Branch. Type a name and it shows any court cases on file. This pulls from all courts in the state, including those that serve Middlesex County towns. You can find lawsuits, family court cases, housing matters, and small claims.

The civil case search tool above lets you look up anyone by name across all Connecticut courts, including Middlesex County cases.

The eLicense portal is another good search tool. It verifies professional licenses for people living or working in Middlesex County. You can look up doctors, contractors, real estate agents, and more by name. The database updates in real time and covers over 800 license types.

Note: Criminal conviction records for Middlesex County are also available through a free search on the Judicial Branch website.

Middlesex County Vital Records Access

Vital records in Middlesex County follow the same pattern as everywhere else in Connecticut. Each town clerk keeps birth, death, and marriage records for events in their town. Middletown's clerk office is your best bet for the largest town. For smaller towns, call the local clerk first to check hours and fees.

The Department of Public Health also maintains vital records at the state level. You can contact them at (860) 509-7700. Their Hartford office takes walk-in requests on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. For Middlesex County residents, the trip to Hartford is not too far, but your local town clerk may be more convenient for records of events that happened in your town.
