BOARD OF HEALTH

One of the functions of the Board of Health is to appoint the Registrar of Vital Statistics, who in turn appoints the Deputy Registrar.  Both must attend classes provided by the State to obtain certification.  


The Rumson Vital Statistics is handled through the Borough Clerk’s Office at Borough Hall.  All records of births, marriages, domestic partnerships and deaths that occur in the Borough are recorded in the Borough and forwarded to the State Registrar of Vital Statistics.

A certified copy of any vital statistic event that took place in Rumson can be obtained either at Borough Hall or from the State Registrar in Trenton.

Marriage licenses are applied for at the town in which the bride resides; or if she lives out of state, where the groom resides; and if neither live in New Jersey, then where the marriage will take place.  The license must be applied for at least 72 hours prior and no more than 30 days prior to the time and date of the marriage ceremony.  (If the license is applied for in less than the required 72-hour period, a waiver from a Superior Court Judge must be obtained before the license can be issued.)  A witness over the age of 18 that knows both the bride and groom must accompany them at the time of the application.  The bride and groom must present identification.  If a divorce is involved for either the bride or groom, the divorce papers must be presented and held until the license is issued.  The cost of the application is $28.00 and is payable at the time of the license application.

Registrar of Vital Statistics:  Jane F. Hartman
Deputy Registrar: Loretta Chebookjian
