Oklahoma Marriage License

By Ben Kingsley


The Country Clerk of Court's are the one's tasked to maintained State of Oklahoma Marriage Records. The state does not a centralized repository for marriage files, unlike other states. The files are accessible by any person, upon request, because they are part of public files. In the eyes of the law, only marriage files are considered as a legal supporting document for any marriage. Without them, a marriage will not be considered as final.

Prior to performing a matrimonial rite, it is essential that a couple procures a license for their marriage. It is standard procedure that the couple must appear before a judge simultaneously when applying for a license. An individual under the age of 18 can apply for a license to marry but must bring along his or her parents to sign a consent form. A divorced person who intends to enter another marriage is required to present his or her divorce record before the court. Usually, a marriage license has a 90-day validity period but in Oklahoma it is only 10 days and cannot be used outside of the state. Usually, only the husband and the wife and their lawyers have full access to a marriage license document.

Providing the full name of the bride or the groom is important if you want to start a search. It will also be useful if you can provide the specific year when the marriage was realized. However, if this is something you have no knowledge about, you can just specify a list of years that you wish to be searched on. Providing as much details as you can regarding the files will make the entire searching process faster and it also increases the odds of finding the exact files.

There are other requirements that you need to comply with when requesting for marriage records and they include the corresponding fees for finding them. Payments are done either by money order or by check and are not subject to any refund even if the records are not located. Presenting a government-issued ID is also required.

If you go over the Internet, you can find that there are also private-owned sites that offer access to marriage files. There is no need to worry about legality issued because such sites have the approval of the court to provide the files to any person who requests for them. Such sites are categorized into two types: those that render fees and those that do not. Both types can get you access to the basic details regarding a marriage file which include the names of the bride and the groom, their place of residence, and the date and location where their marriage transpired. Just to make sure, perform a background check on the site you intend to use and find out if they are a credible source or not. Read the user reviews because reveal whatever feedbacks other customers have on certain sites.
