Arizona - Records Of Marriage Free Online

By Claire Dowell


Public marriage accounts and divorce records in the state of Arizona are housed and disseminated at the county level. Each of the fifteen counties in the state has a designated office that handles all Arizona marriage records and divorce decrees available to the general public. The Clerk of Superior Court has put up various procedures and requirements that all applicants must observed when ordering certified copies of vital documents. Requests are accepted through mail, by phone, or in person. As of late, however, some county offices are starting to accept requests done through the Internet.

When a person gets married, it doesn't necessarily mean that he and his new wife will immediately get a certified copy of their marriage certificate. Marriage certificates, like any other vital document, have to be filed at the state level. This is the responsibility of the county registrar's office. Even though the county gets to keep the original copy, they will still have to record the event on a state level. Otherwise, if the state has no record of the event ever happening, the couple's marriage will technically not be recognized by the state as a legit vital event.

In the Copper State, the Arizona Department of Health Services' Office of Vital Records is only capable of disseminating birth certificates and death reports. They do not have the authority to issue certified copies of marriage licenses and divorce decrees to the general public. If you were to order a certified copy of your marriage report in this state, you will have to do it in the county where you applied for your marriage license. The Department of Health Services' official website contains various online portals to other government services and websites, including county information like office addresses and contact numbers.

To order copies of these kinds of documents, normally there are procedures and requirements that the requester must adhere to. The safest move for someone who has never requested access to public records before is to contact the Superior Court Clerk's office in the county where the marriage took place. You can explain yourself to the clerk and tell him, or her, what you need so he can guide you on what you need to do in order to acquire a certified copy of your marriage certificate.

Of all the current means, resources and tools available to ordinary individuals these days, the Internet is the most effective and cost-efficient source in terms of gathering public information. In fact, most of the government services being offered nowadays can already be availed through online means. Downloadable applications and request forms are found at almost every government website, state or county level.

In addition to government online information services, the emergence of independent record search websites have also gained significant attention among professional researchers and even regular Joes. To a person who's looking to perform a standard marital background check, many of these autonomous online record providers have the capability to provide quick access to marriage licenses and other public vital information for a reasonable one-time fee. All of a sudden, you no longer have to stand in long lines to submit your request or wait several working days to get the documents you requested.
