Texas Public Marriage Records

by Ben Kingsley

Residents of Texas have the freedom to access their public documents. One of the documents they can easily obtain is the records of marriage in Texas.

The marriage record is used by the residents of Texas in a number of ways. The primary use of a marriage record in the state of Texas is for genealogy research. Updating the family tree would require the information from a marriage certificate. Another use of this document is for government transactions. Some processes in the government would call for a copy of a marriage certificate. When an individual needs to update their status in government records, a marriage certificate has to be presented which will serve as proof of being married. Also transactions involving the finances of the couple like insurance are also where marriage certificates are required. Conducting a background check on the marital status of an individual would also refer to the marriage record. This is done by people who wish to make verify the status of their partners.

A marriage certificate would basically contain information about the marriage of a couple. Important dates and places as to where and when the marriage took place are indicated on the file. One would also know the maiden name of the bride together with the name of the groom. Some of their personal information is indicated on the file as well such as their birth details and profession. Additional information that can be found on the file includes the names of the couple's parents and the names of the people who stand as witnesses to the event.

Residents of Texas can only obtain a copy of a marriage certificate which has been registered since January 1966. Only the bride and the groom as well as their immediate family have the freedom to request a copy of a marriage certificate. Others who need to access the files of another person would need to be authorized to be able to do so. In order to proceed with any request, one has to provide the basic information about the document being requested as well as the contact details of the one who requested the document.

The Department of Health under the Vital Records Section is where all of the public documents of Texas are being managed. However, the said office does not release a certified copy of a marriage certificate. One can only get a copy of the certified marriage license at the county clerk office where the marriage has been registered. The state office can still help by verifying the information as to where the document can be obtained. The verification would cost $20 only and it would have a separated fee for the retrieval at the county office. This processing fee would depend on the county where the request is made.

Marriage license records in Texas are now available online. This means that the need to go to either the state or the county office is no longer necessary since the search can be done anytime and anywhere there is Internet connection. One simply needs to log on to a website that offers such service and the results can be obtained in just a few clicks on the mouse. This makes the search easy and fast.
