Vital Statistics

The Recorder's Office is able to issue Minnesota Birth and Death Certificates as well as Marriage Certificates that have been filed in Chisago County.  We are a part of the Minnesota Official Marriage System (MOMS), so even if we are not able to issue your marriage certificate, we may be able to help you locate in which county your certificate was filed.

In addition, you may file your Notary Commission, Marriage Officiant Registration, or Military Discharge papers (DD214) in the Recorder's Office.
