Oklahoma Free Marriage Records

By Ben Kingsley


If you want to get access to the State of Oklahoma Marriage Records, visit the exact county Clerk of Court where the marriage took place. Unlike other states, Oklahoma does not have a unified repository for all marriage records from all its counties. Marriage records are considered as public records. That means any person can access them, upon request. Only marriage records are acknowledged by the law to prove the legality of a marriage. Without it, a marriage will be considered null and void.

A marriage license is an important piece of any marriage. The bride-to-be and the groom-to-be should apply for it at the same time before a judge. If both the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be are over the age limit of 18, they can apply for a license even without the consent of their parents. If one of them is under the age limit, their parents should sign an agreement allowing their child to marry. If a person has gone through marriage in the past and is officially divorce, that person must present the official divorce record to the presiding judge. Once a license is issued, it only has a 10-day validity period compared to other states where their license has a 90-day validity period. Marriage license files are usually revealed only to the bride and the groom and their attorneys.

To start a search, you need to provide a full name of either of the couple and also the exact date or just the year of the marriage. If you do not know the exact date or year, you can include a range of years to be searched so the entire process will not take that long. Providing as much information as you can will speed up the searching process and also increase the chances of locating the right record.

There are corresponding fees for obtaining the files. They are to be paid through money order or issuing a certified check. Once payments are made, no refunds will be issued, regardless of whether the files are located or not. It is also important to show a proof of your identity, and it can be done by presenting a government-issued ID.

If you go over the Internet, you can find that there are also private-owned sites that offer access to marriage files. There is no need to worry about legality issued because such sites have the approval of the court to provide the files to any person who requests for them. Such sites are categorized into two types: those that render fees and those that do not. Both types can get you access to the basic details regarding a marriage file which include the names of the bride and the groom, their place of residence, and the date and location where their marriage transpired. Just to make sure, perform a background check on the site you intend to use and find out if they are a credible source or not. Read the user reviews because reveal whatever feedbacks other customers have on certain sites.

A Free Marriage License Search is possible. Go over the Web and look for sites that allow you to perform such course of action. And if you have no idea where to start searching, it is best to look for sites that allow you do a nationwide search. If you finally find a site that does this for you, look for the search box and enter the appropriate details about the files you are looking for. In no time at all, search results will be revealed on your monitor.
