Bloomfield Township, NJ Public Records
Bloomfield Township is a township with its own local government in Essex County, New Jersey, with an estimated population of 55,416 (U.S. Census Bureau, July 2024 estimate) and 5.3 square miles of land. That is up about 2,328 residents since the 2020 Census base.
🏢 Bloomfield Township Office
Bloomfield Township's own township 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 township 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.
