Arizona Marriage Records

To begin, add a marriage record or view a list of locations and resources for Arizona marriage records.

Finding marriage records in the state of Arizona can be a bit tricky for those who are unfamiliar with the process. Unlike birth and death records, marriage certificates aren't kept by the Office of Vital Records. Instead, each county is responsible for their own marriage records.

The Clerk of the Superior Court of the county in which the marriage occurred is the office to contact in regards to questions about marriage certificates.

Thankfully, marriage records are considered public, which means that you can also search using a public records finder, and thus reduce your time investment significantly. With records dating back well into the 19th century, Arizona marriage records are a great way to start lots of research.

Arizona marriage certificates may be obtained only from the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the marriage license is from. Arizona is a closed state so vital records and information is not available to the public. In order to receive a copy of a marriage certificate in Arizona, you must show proper identification with a photo ID, show proof of relationship, and have your written request notarized.
