Instant Marriage Records Search Online

By Claire Dowell


The Florida Office of Vital Statistics is the office in-charge of keeping FL Marriage Records. Starting on June 6, 1927, the office has become the official central repository of the state's marriage and divorce documents. Documents that were filed prior to June 6, 1927 are kept at the county Clerk of Courts that made them 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. If you know more information about the document you want to acquire, mention them because it will increase the chances that the search will be a success. It is also very important that you leave your contact information such as your name, address, and phone number. It is possible to acquire the documents of other people but the extent of the information that will be made available to you will be very limited so as to preserve the right to privacy of its owner.

A copy of a marriage file will cost you $5 and $4 if you want to get additional copies. Payments can be done through a certified check or money order. The return period for every search transaction is around two to three weeks. However, if that period is too long for you, you can opt for a rush service. But, of course, that means you have to pay an additional fee. A no-refund policy takes effect once fees are settled even if no file will be found. In cases where no files are found, a "not found" certificate will be issued to you.

A marriage license is necessary for a marriage to become legal. The legal age to be married in Florida is 18 years old, and if the husband-to-be or the wife-to-be has not reached that age yet, the approval of the underage individual will be required. Individuals that have been married before will be required to present their official divorce file. On the day of the license application, the couple should both be present. A license has a validity period of 90 days. If a marriage is not carried out within that period, the license will expire and the couple will have to apply for another one.

You can marriage documents on the Internet too. There are websites that are into such business. Many claim that they are the real deal, but, sadly, not all of them are. Make sure that you run a quick background check on the websites that you are considering of using. Go over the user reviews and see if they are known to give genuine information.

You can also find service providers that provide Marriage Licenses Public Records. You can request your own license records. Other individuals that can get access to your records are your partner, your respective legal representatives, and individuals or groups that have the authorization from the court. You can only view other people's license but will not have access to the more personal pieces of information.
