Georgia Marriage And Divorce Records

By Ben Kingsley


Also referred to as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South, Georgia is considered as the 24th most extensive and the 8th most densely inhabited of the 50 United States. With the region's growing population, one's chances of finding his or her possible partner also increase. But before getting serious with anybody, it will be very helpful to check-out GA marriage records.

In Georgia, any couple can request for a marriage license from any county in the region. It is important that both parties appear to personally make the demand. If at least one party lives in Georgia, the couple can choose any county where they want to get married. But, if both parties live outside of Georgia, the wedding ceremony must transpire in the county where the application was submitted. Such license has no expiry but if the same is not used within two years, the couple will have to accomplish another request and supply valid proofs of identity. The couple will not shoulder additional expenses unless the original marriage license is not found.

Those who wish to request for a marriage license must supply a certified birth report, a government-issued picture ID such as a legitimate passport, a driver's license or a military ID. If either the groom or bride is previously married, he or she must provide the necessary data about the divorce unless the former husband or wife is already deceased.

Aspirants who are below 18 years old must be accompanied by their parents in submitting their application for a marriage license. Parents are also asked to present a certified duplicate of their child's birth report and a written approval to their child's intention of getting married.

Accounts of marriage from 1952 to the current period are conserved by the Vital Records Department of Georgia State. If you want to grab a copy of a particular marriage data which was issued before 1952, you can get in touch with the County Probate Court where the matrimonial rite transpired. Each certified replica of a marriage report will cost you $10.00 and $5.00 for every additional duplicate. For orders via mail, you have to make sure that you complete the Marriage Certificate Request Form which you can download from the worldwide web. You must ascertain that you identify the complete name of the bride and groom and the precise date and location of the nuptial.

With the advent of the Internet, anyone can access the public record free marriage search any day of the week. The said online resource is a big help for anyone who wishes to assess the marital status of a certain individual before getting serious with him or her.
