Free Arizona Marriage Records

By Claire Dowell


Marriage records Arizona generates for its people are open. This means that the local residents have the freedom to request for a copy of their marriage certificates whenever they need it. This was made possible after the state has implemented the Freedom of Information Act.

In the state of Arizona, such document is used in a number of reasons. Those who are updating their family records would refer to this document as reference in order to update the family tree. It has information that is necessary to complete the update and with this, the next generation of the family would be able to trace their origins much faster. Transactions in the government would often call for a copy of a marriage license. This is used as proof of one's marital status. This is mostly required when the transaction involves the couple and in such cases if the marriage certificate is not provided, the request may be delayed, if not denied. For those who are planning to get married, some would conduct a background check of the one's they are going to marry. The marriage certificate is one of the documents they check to make sure they are marrying an unattached individual.

A lot of information can be obtained from a public marriage certificate in Arizona. As the name suggest, one can find information about where and when the marriage took place. The names of the couple are indicated on the document along with their birth details. One would know the names of the couple's parents and the names of the people who bear witness to the event.

In order to get a copy of a marriage license, in Arizona, one has to go to the office of the Clerk of Superior Court instead of the Vital Records office. The state office has a copy of the marriage document but the office cannot release it to the public. The state office can give you information as to where the document has to be requested if the county is unknown. Since, it is the county office that releases the document; fees would vary depending on the guidelines set by the county.

Although, fees would vary per county, the guidelines in requesting for such documents may not be standardized but it like an unwritten rule that every county has set. To proceed with the retrieval of a marriage record, one has to know the basic details of the record that is being requested. This not only simplifies the search process but it can also help avoid problems due to missing information which can eventually cause delay. It is also important to indicate one's contact details on the request from which will be used only for documentation purposes.

There are websites that allow their users to do a free marriage records search to let them try their system for a period of time and help them decide whether to pay for the service for a more comprehensive search or not. The paid option, however, is preferred by many because of the quality of the results they obtain form it.
