Request a Record

All requests for certificates or other information must be received in writing. Records are only available for closed parishes, schools and orphanages. For a complete list of Archives holdings, click here. For the records of closed institutions held elsewhere, click here. Requests take between seven and 10 business days to process. Requesters will not be granted access to original documents. A non-refundable processing fee and a copy of a state-issued photo ID is required for all record requests.
