How to Retrieve Colorado Marriage Records

Marriage records for a limited time span are maintained by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Vital Records Section. Marriage records for the entire state can be requested from this office for years 1900 to 1939, as well as from 1975 to the present. For marriage records in all other years, you must present your request directly to the County Clerk or County Recorder in which the marriage took place.

Who Can Access Colorado Marriage Documents?

If you would like to obtain a certified marriage document, then you will need to establish proof of relationship. Certified copies of marriage certificates may be issued to the bride or groom listed on the certificate or to direct relatives. If there is a tangible interest that is validated, then ex-spouses, in-laws, other relatives, and legal representatives can also secure certified copies. However, state-issued ID must be provided in all of these instances.
