Easy Access To Public Marriage Records Online

By Ben Kingsley


In the United States, the Department of Health is the main office tasked with managing the vital records of a state. For the Sunshine State, the responsibility of keeping and maintaining Florida marriage records falls in the hands of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, which functions under the state's health department. In the said office, one can request for access to birth and death records, as well as divorce decrees, after submitting a completed request letter or form.

If for some unforeseen reason you misplaced your copy of your own marriage certificate, the Bureau of Vital Statistics can replace the document quite effectively. You do, however, have to complete the appropriate request form and submit it together with the other requirements. The cost for every copy of the said document is five bucks. But if the record has to be searched manually, you will be charged an additional two dollars for every year searched, with a maximum of fifty dollars per transaction. The office accepts personal checks or money orders, payable to the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

The office maintains marriage reports dating back to the 6th of June 1927, all available to the general public. As an alternative source, county offices may also have marital records accessible to the public, especially older documents that are not necessarily available at the state office. Processing and certification fees may vary between counties, so you should check with the county clerk's office (in the county where the event took place) for further clarifications. For contact details and other relevant information, you can visit the state of Florida's official webpage.

Vital documents such as marriage certificates or death reports have a wide variety of uses. As a matter of fact, almost every legal transaction requires the submission of a copy of a certain vital document. For those who are conducting a genealogy research or personal background checks, having access to these types of documents is invaluable. With that said, government offices are not the only source of public information these days. There is a more convenient and cost-efficient source that any member of the general public can rely on.

Independent online record providers will help you obtain any vital document that you need. These providers are beginning to earn a stellar reputation among genealogists, researchers, legal offices, and other individuals who deal with public records regularly. The fact that they operate online make them easily accessible any time of the day. This means that you get all the records you need by just clicking the mouse. Yes, there may be some that cannot be trusted well enough, but with a little research, getting through to a trustworthy and service oriented online record provider will be quite a breeze.

For a nominal one-time fee, most reputable record search websites will allow unlimited searches and unrestricted access to their well-maintained and extensive collection of public records. Whether you are interest in a particular marriage license or a death report, you can get the information you want without delays or additional fees. Most of their databases also cover a wide array of information from all fifty states, with some services even include vital reports from select US territories. All you need to do is provide the name of the individual, the state where the event occurred, and the type of record you wish to access. It's really that simple.
