Avalon, NJ Public Records
Avalon is an incorporated borough in Cape May County, New Jersey, with an estimated population of 1,216 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 4.3 square miles of land. That is down about 26 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Avalon Borough Office
Avalon's own borough government keeps its local records: council or board meeting minutes, local ordinances and resolutions, local permits and licenses, and its own budget and contracts. Requests for those records go to the borough clerk under New Jersey's Open Public Records Act (OPRA). In New Jersey, every municipality has a local registrar who issues certified copies of birth, marriage and death records for events in that municipality, and marriage licenses are applied for there, so the municipal office is the first stop for vital records.
