Marriage records Arizona generates for its people are open. This means that the local residents have the freedom to request for a copy of their marriage certificates whenever they need it. This was made possible after the state has implemented the Freedom of Information Act.

There are several reasons why the residents of Arizona request for a copy of a marriage certificate. One is to use in it in genealogy research. The document contains vital information that is necessary in order to update the family tree. It is important to update the marriage of a family member for the future generation to trace their origins. Marriage certificates are also used when dealing with transactions in the government. It serves as a proof of one's marital status. This document is used primarily when the transaction involves the married couple. There are transactions that call for such document and requests can be denied if it is not presented.

In order to get a copy of a marriage license, in Arizona, one has to go to the office of the Clerk of Superior Court instead of the Vital Records office. The state office has a copy of the marriage document but the office cannot release it to the public. The state office can give you information as to where the document has to be requested if the county is unknown. Since, it is the county office that releases the document; fees would vary depending on the guidelines set by the county.

To proceed with the retrieval of a marriage record, one has to know the basic details of the record that is being requested. This not only simplifies the search process but it can also help avoid problems due to missing information which can eventually cause delay. It is also important to indicate one's contact details on the request from which will be used only for documentation purposes.
