Georgia Free Marriage 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.

Individuals who want to get married can obtain a marriage license from any state in Georgia. The government mandates that couples who desire to tie the knot must appear in person to submit their request. If at least one party is a resident of Georgia State, the couple has the privilege to choose the location of their wedding. However, in the event that both parties live out of state, the matrimonial ceremony must occur in the proper county where the marriage license was approved. The said license has no expiration, but if such is unused within 2 years, the couple must submit another request and supply a valid proof of identity. Luckily, the couple will not incur extra fees unless the original marriage license is nowhere to be 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.

Parents of those applicants who are below 18 years old are required to appear in person during the submission of the petition to give an approval for their children to get married. A certified birth certificate showing the names of the parents must be presented, together with a written consent signifying that parents allow their child to tie the knot.

Marriage reports which are dated from 1952 to the present period are preserved by the state of Georgia's Office of Vital Records. If the marriage document that you are searching for was approved before 1952, you can contact the County Probate Court where the marital union took place. You will be required to pay $10.00 for a certified duplicate and $5.00 for every additional copy. If you want to apply via mail, you must download the Marriage Certificate Request Form from the Internet. You must ensure that you disclose the necessary data such as the name of the bride and groom and the exact date and venue of the wedding ceremony. After you have accomplished the form, you must include a check or money order to cover the relevant fees.

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. There are various online organizations one can consult to without having to worry about the payment. But if you are yearning for a more clear-cut search outcome, you can always opt for the paid services for a nominal cost.
