- Distributes statistical reports to government agencies and other requesting public and private organizations; and
- Prepares reports that contain tabulations of vital records birth or death data
The NH Division of Vital Records Administration (NH DVRA) in the Office of the Secretary of State is responsible for collecting information on deaths of NH residents and deaths occurring in NH. Funeral home directors and the medical examiner report the information to the Division of Vital Records Administration. Information about NH resident out-of-state deaths is reported to NH through an interstate exchange agreement.
The NH DVRA has released new, web-based query information system, the "New Hampshire Vital Records Information Network web" (NHVRINweb), for accessing Vital Records statistical data. This web-based tool allows access to de-identified Vital Records that date back to 1995. You can also produce data reports in either a spreadsheet format or as a document, so that you can include this data in your own reports if desired.
