How Can I Request a Certified Copy of My Marriage License?
You may request certified copies of your marriage license at the time it is issued or at any point after you are married. The clerk’s office accepts requests for certified copies by mail or in person. If you request certified copies when you apply for your license, they will be mailed to you as soon as the person who marries you returns the completed marriage certificate to the clerk’s office.
