Ohio Marriage Records
Cut the red tape and get instant Ohio Marriage Records the easy way.
Ohio marriage rate has been dropping for years now but being a large state by population size (11 million), there's still quite a bit of marriage records filed in the state over the years although they're not as readily available from public agencies as we would like.
The central state office tasked with the public service pertaining to Ohio Marriage Records is the Ohio Office of Vital Statistics. It reports into the Ohio Department of Health which is located at Columbus, Ohio.
In truth, not much information on Ohio Marriage Records is directly retrievable there. Although it maintains an index of marriage records from September 7, 1949 to the present, only abstracts of marriage licenses which were issued in the State of Ohio since January 1, 1954 are available. They can be requested through the mail accompanied by the required fees of $3.00 per 10-year search per last name. The quoted processing time is 2 to 3 weeks.
Abstracts being basically brief forms carry limited information and are suitable only for the department's purpose of indexing and filing. However, the index does indicate the particular county probate court where a marriage record file is maintained. A contact list of all 88 county probate courts in Ohio is provided by the Ohio Department of Health to facilitate requestors to the right place for certified copies of their desired marriage records.
For checking marriages without knowledge of the specific period or location, public sources are not the way. The one-stop service of professional record providers is more like it. Instant and nationwide, they sure beat the write-in, waiting time and procedures at government agencies. Take a free trial right here and see the difference!
