How To Access Marriage Records

You will be required to state the purpose of your request. It is also required that you attach with your request, the photocopy of a page from your marriage certificate or divorce decree. The documents mentioned here will serve as proof for the accuracy of your records request.

If you choose the mail option, it may take up to a month for your information to reach you.

Once the records department confirms with you, they usually give you a temporary notice to allow some time for your information to be updated. This temporary measure is to prevent your information to be used for something illegal. You are also expected to show proof of your identity during this period.
