Marriage license data — search any name to get started.
Search marriage records by name. Covers marriage date, county, spouse name, and prior marriages across all 50 states.
What a marriage record search may surface:
Results depend on what has been recorded and digitised for the individual searched. Not all records are available in every state. These services are not FCRA consumer reporting agencies and cannot be used for employment, tenant screening, or credit decisions.
How it works
First name, last name, and state. A middle name or approximate age helps narrow results when the name is common.
The service scans publicly available marriage record sources, newspaper announcements, vital records indexes, and court filings nationwide and compiles matching results.
Browse privately. The person you searched is never notified, and your search history is never shared.
Official certified copies are issued by the county clerk or vital records office in the county where the marriage license was obtained. To request one, you typically need the full names of both parties, the approximate marriage date, and proof of identity. Fees and processing times vary by state. If you are not sure which county to contact, a people-search aggregator can surface the marriage date and county from publicly available records, which tells you exactly where to send the request.
Generally yes, though access varies by state. Most states make marriage records publicly searchable at the index level — names, date, and county. Some states restrict access to the parties named on the record or require proof of relationship for a certified copy. A people-search service compiles the publicly available portions nationwide so you can search without knowing the jurisdiction first.

No. These services are not consumer reporting agencies. They cannot be used for employment, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, credit decisions, or any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
