Vital Records

The City Clerk records and maintains vital records (birth, death, and marriage)

The City of Eastport supplies, for a fee certified copies (with embossed seal), birth, marriage, and death records. Please call City Hall at 207-853-2300 for vital record copies and service fees.

Records can be obtained in person during regular office hours or requested by mail.

If sending an application by mail, please note:

As well as sending in a completed application, fee payment and self-addressed envelope, you will also need to provide a photocopy of your photo ID (driver’s license, passport, other government issued photo ID).

If you are requesting a record for someone other than yourself, you will need to provide proof of eligibility to request that record. This includes proof of lineage, proof of registered Domestic Partnership, genealogist state issued card, or if an attorney, a notarized release from the family.

If you are not sure how to prove your eligibility to request a record, please call the office at (207)-853-2300 and we will provide assistance.

If requesting an older record, we advise you to call us before mailing an application.
