By Claire Dowell

They are initially filed at a Clerk of Court where the license was recorded before it is forwarded to the state repository and stored together with divorce records. The office keeps record that date back from June 6, 1927 until the present. Records prior to that date are only available a county Clerk of Court that finalized the records you want to get.

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.
