How do I get a copy of a birth certificate?

You FIRST need to confirm your record is on file in Danvers.  Birth records are held in the city/town of birth and the city/town the parents lived at the time of birth.  If you have any question, please contact the Clerk’s Office via email at [email protected] or 978 -777-0001 x3053 or x3051 to verify. 

Any refund for incorrect orders can take up to 30 days.

You may obtain a certified copy of a birth certificate by ordering online, by visiting the Office of the Town Clerk during normal business hours or by mailing your request along with the $10 fee and a self-addressed stamped envelope to Town Clerk, Danvers Town Hall, 1 Sylvan Street, Danvers, MA 01923.
