Trusted Website For Free Marriage Records Search

by Claire Dowell

If you are looking for Marriage Records New York, you can look them up at the New York State Department of Health under their Vital Records Unit. You can also look them up at the official website of the New York Marriage Bureau. If you cannot find the record you are looking for at either office, inquire at the clerk of Superior Court where the marriage was made official.

Members of the general public are granted access to marriage files because they are considered as part of the public domain. However, there are certain limitations as to who are granted access to a certain file. Technically, only the husband and the wife and their legal representatives are granted access to their own file. But if one can get the proper authorization from the court, a person can get access to another person's file. One example is when someone wants to investigate the marital status of a future life partner.

To start a search you need to secure first the proper request form at the state's Department of Health or at a clerk of Superior Court. Next, fill out the form with the vital details that it requires such as the groom's full name, the bride's maiden name, their respective dates of birth, their address, when and where the marriage took place, why you want to obtain the records and your relationship to the bride or groom. Do not forget to present a proof of identity upon submission of request. Double check the details that you are providing because they are vital to the success or failure of your search. In addition, if the custodian of the record you want to obtain does not find your reason to be valid, they have the right to accept your request.

There is a fee of $30 for every copy of a marriage file. If you want additional copies, you have to pay $15 for each copy. A request can be placed through a phone call or through the Internet. These types of request can take 5-7 days to process. You can also place your request through mail and it takes around 2-8 weeks to process. If you want a speedier search process, you can choose a rush service for $45 per copy. A no refund policy applies once payment is done.

Another way to acquire marriage documents is through websites that have the consent of the court to maintain and provide them to the public. There are several of such websites but, sadly, not all of them are reliable sources. It is ideal that you check their background first before deciding on which website you will do your search on.
