California Marriage Records Available Online

By Ben Kingsley


According to records, the United States' most populous state is California. Also known as The Golden State, it is a place where you will find it easy to meet people of different classes and backgrounds; people with different dreams and ambitions. California is a colorful mix of people from various parts of the world. It is also where you will find the eight most populous cities of the country. The Golden States is likewise one of the states where access to public records is quite easy. For instance, if you need to obtain marriage records in California, the most important thing to first do is find information about where to submit your request.

California's Department of Public Health - Vital Records Office is where you should head if you want to get a copy of your (or someone else's) marriage records. However, you won't find the record in the said office if it was filed in the years between 1987 and 1997. The office only keeps marriage records from 1949 to 1986 and 1998 to 1999. Additionally, what you will get is a certificate verifying whether or not the marriage took place in California. The fee for every record requested is $14, payable only through personal check or via money order.

If you decide that you need a certified informational copy instead of a certification, you will not be asked to submit a sworn statement, but you will be required to take note of some guidelines. Get all the details you need regarding this process by visiting the website of the California Department of Public Health.

For marriage records that were filed outside of the years indicated above, you will need to file your request with the County Clerk in the county where the marriage took place. The fees will vary from one county to another, but - again - you can check out updates through the Department of Public Health's website.

As is the case in most state and government offices, though, you may have to wait for a few days to some weeks before getting your requested record. If you want a more efficient method, you should work with online record providers. These independent record searchers operate a comprehensive database that you can access online anytime and anywhere where there is good Internet connection. Thus, you are guaranteed to receive the results in a matter of minutes. No long waiting periods to endure!

So if you need a certified informational copy or a certificate of a marriage license in California, you should put your trust in online record providers. You don't only get fast and efficient results, you also get to save a lot. Unlike state and government agencies, you won't be asked to pay for each request you make. You only have to make a small payment once; once only, not twice or thrice - or everytime you need a record. And you get a reward for your small one-time payment: unlimited access to their comprehensive online database. Thus, you can access all the public records you want whenever you need them! No additional or hidden fees. It's a once-in-a-lifetime investment you deserve to enjoy!
