Marriage Records from All 50 US States
      
Please Note: We do not issue marriage licenses for people who wish to get married . A marriage license is the legal document that authorizes a designated party to perform the ceremony. Only the state or county in which the marriage is to take place can do that. We provide the state and county archived records of marriage certificates. The marriage certificate is the official document that proves that a marriage has taken place.

The accuracy of our results, and speed of the service that we can provide depends on the information that you provide us. Please make sure that you provide us with all the details that you can about the bride and groom, where the marriage license was issued, or the date and location of the marriage ceremony. Our services are to provide the search, and although we make every effort to provide you with the results that you are looking for, we cannot guarantee the results if the information provided is incomplete or inaccurate. Please Note: We charge a fee for each LOCATION that we search. A search request that comes back as "no record found" will not be credited back UNLESS it is clearly our mistake that the wrong location was searched. If we have made the error then your money will be refunded cheerfully with our apologies.
