Search & Copy Requests

Last Revised: 01/2026

Vital Records (Birth, Marriage & Death Certificates) can be found at the City, Town & Village Clerk offices

In Person Search & Copies:

You can search our Public records for free, in office, during regular business hours. Conducting the search yourself will save you search fees, however, copy fees will still apply.

Online Access:

Since 2014 the Jefferson County Clerk’s office has been working diligently to make our records available online at http://www.searchiqs.com/nyjef. In an effort to increase document availability the Jefferson County Clerk’s office acquired a Map scanner in 2016 which has allowed us to image our current maps as well as back file our Maps back to 1959. This is an ongoing project that our Records Management department works on daily. Our office also acquired a Book Scanner in 2023, which will allow our office to digitize Deeds, Mortgages, Naturalization Records and more, quickly and safely.
