By Ben Kingsley


Marriage is the result of two people in untied in love and this is documented in the form of a marriage certificate. GA marriage records or marriage certificates issued in Georgia are open to the public which means that the local residents are allowed to access and request it whenever it is necessary. The implementation of the Freedom of Information Act has made this possible.

A marriage certificate is an important document that the people of Georgia use on a regular basis. Marriage records are one of the vital documents used when updating the genealogy. Some transactions in the government would call for a copy of a marriage license in order to proceed with any request. Checking on the marital status of an individual is also another use of such document. This is mostly done by people who want to make sure that they are dating someone who is unattached.

It basically contains details about the marriage of a couple. This includes the complete names of the bride and the groom. Their personal details such as the date and place of birth are also included on the certificate. It would not be a complete document without the date and the place of the marriage. One would also find the names of the couple's parents and the witnesses.

One can get a copy of a marriage certificate prior to the given date at the county where it was registered. A processing fee of $10 has to be paid in order to get the requested file.

One is also required to provide their contact details as well as a valid reason for getting the record.

Requests can be done by going to the office of the Department of Public Health directly or by sending a mail order. When doing the mail option, all of the requirements have to be included including the payment. The state office accepts payments for mail request in the form of check or money order only, mailed-in cash are not accepted.
