What is in This Collection?

This collection contains birth and death certificates from islands and nations in the Federated States of Micronesia and the former Trust Territory of the Pacific. Many of the certificates are delayed registrations. The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands was established in 1947 following World War II. The Territory is now divided into the Republic of the Marshall Islands (1986), Federated States of Micronesia (1986), Republic of Palau (1981), and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (1986). Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
