Municipal clerks file vital records for events that occur within the State of Maine, within their town/city or occur to residents of their community within Maine. If a child is born in Maine, a copy of the birth certificate is filed in the town/city where the birth occurred, and the town/city where the mother resides. A death certificate is filed in the town/city where the death occurred, and the municipality where the deceased resided. After the wedding a marriage license is filed where the bride and groom applied for the license. Note: All vital records are filed with the State of Maine, Office of Vital Records in Augusta.
