Sacramental Records

Sacramental records of Baptisms, Marriages, Confirmations, and Deaths are created and maintained at the individual parishes of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

If you are searching for a copy of your sacramental record and the sacrament occurred within the last 75 years, then you will need to contact the parish in which the sacrament was performed to receive a certificate.

The Office of Archives and Records does not issue certificates.

PLEASE NOTE: If your sacrament was performed on a military base, please contact the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA. Their information can be found online under the Office of Sacramental Records.
