Oklahoma Free Marriage License

By Ben Kingsley


Marriage records are accessed by many because they serve as the official papers of a marriage. When the validity of a marriage is questioned, the records will be the proof. In Oklahoma, it is the tasked of the county Clerk of Courts to provide Oklahoma Marriage Records to whomever requests for them. The records are usually kept at the county where the marriage license was filed.

In any marriage, it is important to secure a marriage license. Without the license, a marriage will be considered null and void. A marriage license should be applied for by the couple simultaneously. A license is only good for 90-days. It means that the couple should get married within that span of time for the license to be effective. After the 90-day period, the license will expire, and if the couple still has not married by that time, they will have to secure another license.

There are a number of important details that are included in a marriage document. Such details include the names of the spouses, their respective date of birth, where they reside, date and place where their marriage occurred, and many more. Although marriage documents are available for access to the public, not everything that is included in it can be viewed by everyone. There are certain pieces of information that are disclosed only to certain people because they are confidential. Only the spouses, their attorneys, and some individuals or groups that have approval from the court are given access to confidential details.

To start a search, you must have knowledge of the full name of either of the couple. In a government office, it usually takes several weeks to process requests for public records. But if you can provide additional pieces of information, it will help make the retrieval process much faster. It is important also that you check if the information you are providing are true or not so that you will be given the correct record. Bear in mind that a government office will not issue any refund even if no records are found. You can download a request form at the official website of the county Clerk of Court but will have to submit the completed form personally. If you cannot provide the required pieces of information, or any other requirement specified by the Clerk of Court, your request will be rejected.

Marriage records can also be accessed through online service providers. There are several service providers available that are authorized by the court to provide such records. However, with the vast pieces of information that you can find on the Internet, it is quite tricky to determine if a certain source is legit or not. But if you can do a quick background check on certain service providers, you will have an idea about their credibility through the comments of other users.

Marriage And Divorce Records are kept on a county, state, and national level. If you do not have any idea at all which county the records are kept, you can head to the state's central repository of public records or you can search for a service provider that will allow you to do a nationwide search.
