Need to obtain a certified
copy of your marriage license? Marriage records can be kept on the
state, county or town level. You actually already know who to contact to
get a certified copy. It is easiest to contact the clerk's office where
you originally took out your application for a marriage license before
you got married. They can tell you the cost and procedure in your state
to obtain a certified copy of your marriage license.
If for some reason that does not work, (the clerk in the quaint New
England town where I got my license left for a two year cruise and the
department functionally shut down until the town found someone else to
fill the position) I have listed the web addresses for the various
state's web sites. Most of the states in the U.S. have web pages with
information including the name, address, and phone of the various
government agencies. You would be looking for the department of Vital
Records. I have provided a link to the state's main page. This is to
avoid giving you a dead link should they move where they have their
vital statistics information. Different states have different levels of
information available on their websites. Look around their site and if
you do not find what you need then e-mail them to request the procedure
and cost to obtain a certified copy of your marriage license.
