Where the U.S. birth and marriage papers from Gaithersburg come from
In Maryland, a child born in Gaithersburg needs a birth certificate from the Division of Vital Records of the Department of Health, in Baltimore for the NVR, with the fee on the Maryland page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
If the marriage license was issued in Montgomery County, where Gaithersburg lies, the CDC’s directory for Maryland points to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Montgomery County for the certified copy (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records).
