To obtain a copy of any of a marriage license in the United States, write or go to the vital statistics office in the state or area where the event occurred. To ensure that you receive an accurate record for your request and that your request is filled with all due speed, follow these steps:
Make your letters concise and to the point.
Do NOT include more than one or two requests at once, and be careful not to write confusing details of your family lines.
Type or print all names and addresses in your letter.
Provide complete information on an individual and event for which you need documents. Include all names that may have been used, including nicknames, alternate spellings, etc. List dates and type of event as completely and accurately as possible. If you don't know the exact date, specify the span of years you wish searched and be prepared to pay for searches that span several years.
Always provide an S.A.S.E., (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope).
County offices have limited personnel and are often swamped with paper work. Genealogical queries are done as a service which is outside of their realm of responsibility. They ask therefore that you exercise patience and courtesy in your transactions with their offices.
Be sure and include following information:
date of request
full name of husband (last name in caps)
full name of wife (maiden name in caps)
date of marriage
place of marriage (city or town, county, state)
relationship to parties
the purpose for which the record is needed
requestor's name & address
requestor's driver's license number & state (some counties require it)
requestor's signature
