Ohio Records Of Marriage

By Claire Dowell


Also known as the Buckeye State, Ohio is one of the United States' most populous places. If you need to find information about a person - especially one you just met - you might find it quite difficult. Let's say you are thinking of starting a deeper relationship with somebody you met at a bar or a party; you would want to do a background check on that person to make sure you can trust him or her, right? In our highly modern and unpredictable society, this is a must. One of the best ways of facilitating a background check is by getting a copy of a person's public records. This will be easy as the Freedom of Information Act requires every US state to open relevant dossiers to the public. However, there are rules to follow and requirements to adhere to. For example, if you need to access Ohio marriage records, you should first get in touch with the Vital Statistics office of the state's Department of Health.

The Vital Statistics office manages Ohio's marriage records and all other relevant public dossiers. Records kept in the said office are dated as far back as before 1949. If you need to get certified copies, though, you will not find these at the Vital Statistics office; you'll have to go to the county where the marriage took place and file a request with the Probate Court.

The clerk's office of the county will help you find the record you need. You'll have to get in touch with the office or make a personal visit in order to file your request. All your requirements, especially the details of the record, should be ready. Additionally, you'll have to be prepared to pay. The amount will vary from county-to-county, of course.

Another way of obtaining copies of marriage records or marriage licenses in the Buckeye State is by filing a request with the Ohio Historical Society. Although the said office mainly deals with birth and death records requests, it also helps out individuals who need copies of marriage records. You can send your request through email or by visiting their office and submitting the request yourself.

However, as is common knowledge to almost everyone, government offices and agencies receive thousands of applications and requests day after day, so you may have to wait before yours is acted upon. So there is no guarantee when you will get the Ohio marriage records you need to get your hands on.

For a faster, more efficient, and more practical alternative, you should turn to online record providers. Their comprehensive database will allow you to get what you need in a matter of minutes, as you'll be able to access it anytime and anywhere. You won't need to wait for days or weeks. In addition to this, you'll get the most practical deal ever because you only have to pay a minimal fee, and you pay once only, not every time you make a request. What you'll get in exchange for the one-time fee is even better: unlimited access to all the marriage records or marriage licenses you need. Don't you think that's an unbelievably practical option?
