New Jersey Marriage Records

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

Marriage records anywhere are valuable documents, but this is especially true in New Jersey. Not only are modern New Jersey marriage records valuable to those to whom they refer, but they also contain a wealth of information for researchers and genealogists.

In New Jersey, marriage records date back to 1666, which means there are more than three hundred years of history to look back over. Retrieving marriage records is easy to do but can depend on knowing which archive to look through.

For all marriage records before 1901, requests should be directed to the New Jersey State Archives. But all requests for marriage records from after 1900 are handled by the State Bureau of Vital Statistics and Registration. This entity has records dating up to the present day and allows marriage records that are more than 50 years old to be viewed by the public.

While requests to these entities can be sent through the mail, many researchers have had a lot of success using online public records finders to help them pinpoint the records they need in far less time.
