Vital Statistics
Sherman's
records are complete from 1802. Since Sherman
was a part of the town of New Fairfield until
its incorporation in 1802, vital records before that date are located in the
Town of New Fairfield
(New Fairfield lost most of its records by fire in 1867).
All marriage and death records (and birth records over 100 years) are open to
the public. Since our vitals index includes current records, we will assist
you with requested records. All copies must be certified and the cost is
$10.00. Social Security Numbers are removed as per statute on certified
copies except to certain applicants. Birth records under 100 years old are
available to the person who is the subject of the certificate if not a minor,
parents, grandparents, spouse or children, and certain other legal
individuals.
Marriage Licenses
Marriage licenses are issued during regular office hours. Licenses must be
issued by either the Town of residence for the Bride or Groom, or the Town
where the marriage is to take place. There is no waiting period and no blood
tests. The cost is $30.00
Passports
Passport applications are available at the Post Office.
Beach Passes
Beach passes are not
available at the Town Clerk's
Office. They are only available at the Park and Recreation Office located at
