Where To Access Alaska Marriage Records

Alaska marriage records are kept at the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics, a division of the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services. Vital statistics in Alaska are kept strictly confidential until they become public. Marriage records are only available to the general public 50 years after the event. Otherwise, only a bride or groom listed on the certificate, or a legal representative, may request a copy of the license via mail or fax, or in person at the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics.

Obtaining Marriage Records Online

Alaska does not accept online requests for marriage records. However, the state works with VitalCheck.com to facilitate online requests for marriage records. Keep in mind, however, that you must still show appropriate ID process directly to the Alaska Bureau of Vital Statistics, even if you utilize the online request method.
