Connecticut Public Marriage License Records

By Kenneth Wright


Marriage records can help you if you need to do any of several things: do a background check on someone, complete a genealogical research, or settle requirements for legal or court matters. If we lived in the earlier days, obtaining copies of public records would be a challenge. In the highly modern world we now move in, however, there are a number of viable ways for getting the vital documents you need. For the state of Connecticut, a set of instructions are available through the Connecticut Department of Public Health's website. If you choose to proceed with the request for Connecticut Marriage Records on your own, two of the places you can go to are the State Vital Records Office and the city or town where the marriage happened.

Prior to submitting your request, you need to know that obtaining public records in Connecticut will not be easy if you are not a relative or family member of the record owners. You can save a lot of time if you do some research before proceeding with the request. Also, be aware that the records found in the State Vital Records Office of the Department of Public Health are also for marriages that took place in July 1897 up to the present. Every request that you make has a $20 fee, and you can only pay this through check or postal money order. The latter should be addressed to the State Treasurer.

In case you need to find Public marriage records that are dated earlier than July 1897, if you are not one of the individuals on the record, and if you want to save time; you will have to first find out which county or town the couple got married. Only the clerk's office of the town or city where the wedding took place can provide you with copies of earlier records.

In order for your request to be processed, you have to strictly follow instructions. When requesting for Connecticut Marriage Records, clearly write down the full name of the groom and the bride (including her maiden name), as well as the date and place of the wedding. You should also not forget to specify your relationship to the individuals on record. A copy of your ID is also required. As majority of government and state offices are swamped with requests day in and day out, you must be willing to wait for a couple of days before your request is granted.

If waiting is not your cup of tea, then your only option is to find a reliable independent online record provider. There are a lot of them all over the Internet, each one ready and raring to offer you the help you need. They make public records search easier with their comprehensive online database. Additionally, you won't need to follow complicated procedures; just register on their website, enter the details of the record you need, and in a matter of minutes, you'll have what you need!

Yes, you may need to register, but you won't be paying high fees that cab drain your pockets. What they will ask of you is a very minimal fee that you pay once only. This one-time fee opens a lot of wonderful opportunities for, starting with the chance to enjoy unlimited access to all the Public marriage records you need. So you pay less, but you get more. That is definitely a good deal, don't you think so?
