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.

Couples can apply for a marriage license from any state in Georgia. The state requires that both the bride and groom must appear in person to make the petition. If at least one party resides in Georgia, the couple can select any county where they want to tie the knot. But if both parties are non-residents of the state, the marital union must take place in the exact county where the marriage license was requested. The said license does not have an expiry date, but if the same is not consumed within two years, the couple will have to complete another application and present a valid evidence of identity. The good thing is, the couple will not be paying any additional cost except if the original marriage license is lost.

Individuals who want to apply for a marriage license must provide a certified certificate of birth, a state-issued picture ID such as a valid passport, a driver's license or a military ID. If one party has been married in the past, he or she must give details regarding the divorce, unless the former spouse is 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. 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.
