You can search for New London people through court records, vital records at the city clerk, property tax data, voter rolls, and professional license databases.

New London City Clerk Records

The New London City Clerk is the primary local office for public records in this port city. Birth certificates, death records, and marriage licenses for events that took place in New London are all kept here. The clerk also files land records, trade name certificates, and other public documents. City Hall is at 181 State Street, New London, CT 06320. Call (860) 447-5200 for questions about records or hours. Walk-in visits are the best way to get certified copies of documents, though some forms are posted online.

Connecticut law requires each town and city clerk to maintain vital records. Under CGS Section 7-51, the New London City Clerk keeps local vital records and sends copies to the state Department of Public Health. If you need a birth, death, or marriage record for a New London resident, you can ask at City Hall or try the state office. The clerk will explain the forms you need and fees for certified copies. New London is a city, not a town, so the office may use different titles than what you see in smaller Connecticut municipalities.

Property records in New London come from two other city offices. The Assessor tracks ownership, assessed value, and property type for every parcel in the city. The Tax Collector handles payments and can show tax history. These records are valuable for the New London residents directory because they link real names to real addresses in the city.
