Oklahoma Marriage License

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.

Prior to performing a matrimonial rite, it is essential that a couple procures a license for their marriage. It is standard procedure that the couple must appear before a judge simultaneously when applying for a license. An individual under the age of 18 can apply for a license to marry but must bring along his or her parents to sign a consent form. A divorced person who intends to enter another marriage is required to present his or her divorce record before the court. Usually, a marriage license has a 90-day validity period but in Oklahoma it is only 10 days and cannot be used outside of the state. Usually, only the husband and the wife and their lawyers have full access to a marriage license document.

If you want to place a request for the records, you should at least know the full name of the husband or the wife and the year when the marriage occurred. If you are unable to state the exact year, you can specify the years that you want to be searched. The more information you can provide, the better the chances will be of locating the correct records and doing it in less time as well.

There are specific fees for the records and they vary on which county you are requesting them from. All fees are payable by money order or a certified check. All fees paid are non-refundable even if the records are not found. You also need to present a valid ID that is issued by the government.

Marriage records can also be obtained online through service providers. There are those that supplying them to the public, with the consent of the court to do so. Service providers are either free or have fees. Regardless of which type you choose to use, you will be given the basic pieces of information such as the names of the couple, their address, and when and where the marriage took place. However, despite the fact that there are a number of service providers available online, not all of them are credible. Perform a background check on them to determine if they are capable of providing legit information or not. You can refer to user reviews because they reveal what other users think of their service.

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.
