By Ben Kingsley


The Freedom of Information act has mandated the government to allow the residents of a give state to access their personal documents. Arizona marriage records are only one of the many documents that are opened to the public. This was done to let the people access it anytime it is needed.

There are several reasons why the people of Arizona request for a copy of their marriage certificate. One is to conduct a genealogy research. The document has information that is important in updating the family tree. It can help track the whereabouts of family members. The marriage certificates are also required when dealing with government transactions. Transactions such as insurance and other financial matters would usually call for such documents especially if it requires proof of one's identity and status. The document is also used to verify the marital status of an individual. This is usually done by people who wish to make sure that their partner is really single. Ironically, petitioning for divorce would require the marriage license. Without it, the petition may not be processed since the marriage may not have occurred in the first place.

As the name suggest, a marriage license would contain information about the union of a couple. It highlights when and where the couple has registered their marriage. The document would not be complete without the names of the husband and the wife. One can also find some personal details such as when and where they were born and who their parents are. Other important information that is included in the document is the names of the witnesses.

In order to get a copy of a marriage license in Arizona, one has to visit the county where the marriage was registered. The office of the clerk of superior court in the county is where one can request for the said document. Unlike other state, where the state's Department of Health releases copies of marriage certificate, the state office in Arizona can only verify the information and can also direct you to where you can request the file. Because the files are available in the local county offices, charges may also vary.

The document can only be requested by the couple themselves and their immediate family. Other people can access the records of other individuals if they can secure an authorized request. One has to know the basic information of the record that is being requested in order to have the request processed. One can give the names of the couple and the details such as the place and the date when the couple got married. Once the necessary information is provided, the search can be simplified and hastened.

Marriage license records can now be obtained even without going through the hassle of lining up and waiting for your turn. This is possible when the request is made online. The Internet has made the search convenient and easy since there is no need to verify information if the county is unknown. The document can be obtained in just seconds instead of days.
