If you are looking for Georgia Marriage Records, you can find them at the specific county Probate Court that finalized the marriage. The court has been keeping records of marriage since 1805. Marriage records can also be obtained at the state's Vital Records Office. However, they only keep records of marriages that occurred between 1952 and 1996.

If you want to make a request for marriage records, you need to fill-up a request form which is available at the Vital Records office and their official website. The pieces of information that need to be supplied on the form include particulars such as the full names of the husband and the wife, and the date and location where the marriage transpired, amongst others. You can hand the completed form at the office or send it by mail. There is a corresponding fee of $10 for every certified copy of the records and a $5 fee for additional copies. The office only accepts payment by check or money order. If the records you requested for are not located, the office will not provide a refund. Bear in mind that public offices are usually understaffed, which means that the time it takes to get the records is usually lengthy.

A marriage will only be considered valid if there is a marriage license. The license can be acquired at the Probate Court and the couple needs to apply for it at the same time. If one of them is under 18 years old, their parents need to accompany them to the court. Only the bride and the groom have the right to see their marriage license. Their respective attorneys can also see it.

Any person has the right to access marriage records because they are considered as public records. In most states, only the couple, their lawyers, and individuals or parties authorized by the court have the right to view and access everything that is on a marriage record. In Georgia, outside parties can view and access everything as well.

The records can now also be obtained online through service providers. They are not owned by the government, but they are required to follow the rules and guidelines in providing the records to the public. Some service providers provide the records for free while some render certain fees for them. There are several of such providers that you can find on the Internet, it is just a matter of what kind of information you need and what they can provide.

Acquiring Marriage Divorce Records online is hassle free. You can perform a search anywhere you feel comfortable and anytime you need to. All you need to prepare are a computer with Web connection and basic information about your desired marriage files. The Web is widely known as a source of massive amounts of information. Unfortunately, not everything that is uploaded can be considered as genuine information. To determine if you are given genuine information, you must check the credibility of the website, whose service you are going to avail, of your choice. Look for user reviews and see if other users are satisfied with the website or not.
