Online Nebraska Marriage Records Resources

By Claire Dowell


The state of Nebraska has allowed its local residents to access their personal documents. This includes the Nebraska marriage records. Although, the records are considered public, only the couple and their immediate relatives are allowed to get a copy of it until the document reaches 50 years since it was registered.

The document would not be considered a complete document without the names of the people involved. In this case the names of the bride and the groom are documented completely on the record. Important information such as the place and the date where the couple got married are also found on the file. The document also includes the names of the parents of the bride and the groom. Marriage is not valid without witnesses thus; their names are also included on the file.

Nebraska marriage records are used in a number of ways. It is one of the primary documents used as reference in updating the family tree. Genealogy researchers are the ones who regularly access such files to help them find information. Through such research, one would know the history of their family as to where their ancestors came from. Marriage records are also requested by the residents of Nebraska when they process some transactions in the government. This is especially true for insurance related request as well as those that may need proof that an individual is already married.

In the state of Nebraska, a fee of only $11 is needed to proceed with the request. One should know where to request for such file to avoid delay. The document can only be released, if the one who request for it is either the bride or the groom. The immediate family members of the couple are also given access to the file.

The office of the Vital Records Section in the state of Nebraska is where the public documents of the state are being kept. The said office has managed to keep records from 1909. For files before the said year, it can be requested at the county where the couple had their marriage registered. If in cases where the location of the marriage is unknown, one can also check at the Nebraska State Historical Society. Such office archives older files. One can also do a mail request but all of the necessary requirements have to be included on the envelope along with the payment. Payment has to be done through a mail order or a personal check. However, the record can be obtained after several days.

This has been addressed by the development of the Internet. It has made the retrieval of a marriage record easier since it can be done even at home and one can save time because the results are displayed in just a few seconds instead of days. A free marital records search is also possible through some websites that lets their users have a feel of their system before letting them pay for a more thorough search.
