Finding Your Sacramental Records
Are you looking for your sacramental records? A recently-issued baptismal certificate is required to receive other sacraments. For those preparing for marriage, getting your sacramental records is necessary.
All sacramental records for the Diocese of Colorado Springs are kept at the parish where the sacrament was celebrated and received.
Note: Sacramental records are private and not part of the public domain. Therefore, they are not open to the general public for genealogical research.
When you contact a parish to request a baptismal certificate, be prepared to provide the following information:
If you were baptized - or received any other sacrament - on a U.S. military base, either in the United States or abroad, your records should be at the Military Archdiocese:
Archdiocese for the Military Services
Office of Sacramental Records
PO Box 4469
Washington DC 20017-0469
202-719-3605 phone
202-269-1002 fax

Send a request to the Archdiocese for Military Services by mail, fax, or online - but not by phone. It takes two to six weeks to process a request, with their busiest time from mid-January through mid-June. Each certificate costs the Military Archdiocese approximately $25 to produce, process, maintain, and mail. A donation would be accepted gratefully.
If you need additional help in your search for a sacramental certificate, feel free to contact the Tribunal.
