Connecticut Public Marriage Records

By Ben Kingsley


There will come a time when you will need to obtain copies of certain public records. Marriage records, for example, can be used for a genealogy project, or for a performing a background check. Such records may also be useful when you are settling a court case or working on legal issues. Some government and private establishments also require marriage records for certain transactions. Getting a copy of your - or of any person's - marriage records was quite exhausting in the past. Today, when everything can be done in a simpler and easier manner, accessing vital public documents can be as easy as singing your favorite children's song. All that you need to do is follow a set of procedures and instructions. In Connecticut, the best places to file for access to Connecticut Marriage Records are the clerk's office of the town or city where the marriage took place, and the state's Vital Records Office.

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.

There is a more convenient and efficient alternative if you want to get the record you need at the soonest possible time. The Internet is loaded with independent professional online record searchers, and they are always ready to help you find what you need.

Yes, these online record providers may require you to register. But you really have nothing to worry about. You won't need to pay for every record that you search; you are to pay only a very minimal fee - and for once only. After you have paid this one-time fee, you'll enjoy unlimited access to all Public marriage records. So what happens is that you pay less, but you get more than you expected. Now, isn't that what a good deal is all about?
