New York Marriage License

By Ben Kingsley


Marriage Records in New York can be easily requested however in any government requests, there are processes that should be followed. There are steps and sometimes it would depend upon the type of reports you need from the agency. And many of the citizens in New York look for these records since it can be of help to them especially if they're working on a genealogy report.

So if you need to know where and how such document is used, one should know that the maiden name of the wife is of great deal since it is important information that is used in the search. One example is when you look for their family records, you will be able to learn about their real names, how young were they when they got married and the date they applied their marriage license. In addition, one can learn about the address where the couple had their marriage and what their specific occupations are. There is also significant personal information that can also be retrieved in the document.

When you track New York City's history in retrieving marriage records, you will learn that marriage records have already been released to the public since the year of 1914 except in the states of Yonkers, Albany and Buffalo. You just have to mail or request it from the city clerk and just mention the town where you think that the marriage occurred. There is a processing fee amounting to $30.00 per request per copy. Just be informed that there might be additional charges and it would depend on the type of request that you have filed. It would also be better if you have to check more information from the Department of Health in New York, look for Marriage Certificates section.

Be conscious however of some limits. Only those with documentation form the judicial New York State Court, the bride or the groom are given access to the document itself. Be ready then of the papers and information needed just in case you will be asked. By providing the names of the couple, date and place of birth as well as the date and place of their marriage and their residence address, the search can be hastened. Also, one is required to indicate their relation to the couple and a valid reason for requesting for such document.

Such requests can then be sent to the "Certification Unit, Vital Records Section. Sending a priority request can also be done and it has to be sent to the office address of the Department of Health Vital Records Section.

It is much better also to request for records of marriage online since it is faster and you just have to look for valid agencies online but make sure there is refund agreed if ever they encounter issues.
