How do I get a copy of my Marriage License?: You must fill out a Marriage Research Application form (PDF). It must be filled out by one of the two parties involved in the marriage or a Power of Attorney. The form must be notarized and there is a non-refundable search fee of $10. The marriage license is filed where you applied for your license, not necessarily where you were married.
