It started to store marriage files on June 6, 1927 until today. If you want to obtain marriage files that date back before the office started acting as the state's central repository, head to the specific county Clerk of Court that made the files you want to obtain official.

Members of the general public are granted the right to acquire marriage documents because they are considered as part of public documents. Before you can carry out a search, you need to secure the appropriate request form. Fill it out with all the required pieces of information such as the names of the couple, the date of their marriage, and where it happened.

There is a fee of $5 per copy of the record and $4 for succeeding copies. Fees can be paid through a certified check or money order. Normally, it takes to three weeks to complete a search process. If you need them sooner, you can indicate that you want to a rush service for an additional fee. All fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the search. If no record is found, you will be given a certificate that indicates "not found."

If one is under that age, a parent's consent should be presented before the judge. If one or both are previously married, they will also have to present their respective official divorce records. Both parties should be present at the time of the application of the license. A license is valid for 90 days only. If the couple is not married within that period, they will have to secure another license.

Before you choose which search tool to use, run a history check on them. You can gather some vital information from the reviews of past clients.
