Acquire Public Marriage Records Through Online

By Claire Dowell


If you need to access records of marriage in New Jersey, the State Office of Vital Statistics and Registry is the right agency to approach. The office holds copies of New Jersey Marriage Records that date back to 1901 up to the present. If the records you are looking for are older ones, though, you will have to look for them with the help of the State Archives. The marriage dossiers you will find in the said office are those recorded from 1848 to the year 1900. There are also microfilms of marriages that took place from 1901 to 1940 at the State Archives, although these are strictly for in-person use only.

One of the reasons for obtaining a copy of marriage records is the need to verify a person's background, especially if you have just met him or her. Another reason is for personal file keeping and updating, or for completing the family tree. You may also be required to submit a copy of your marriage record when applying for or closing business or government deals.

The process for filing a request in New Jersey is not really complicated. You just need to have your requirements ready so that you won't waste a lot of time. A valid ID (or photo ID) is required. Since certified copies of marriage records are given only to the couple on the record, their parents or legal guardian/representatives, spouse, child, sibling, and grandchild; you will need to prepare some proof of your relationship to the individuals who own the record. Additionally, you should be of legal age upon filing the request. If you are an authorized representative of a Federal or State agency; or if you need the Marriage Record to comply with a court order, you will also be handed a certified copy.

For applicants who do not fall into any of the qualified categories, a certification stating that the record cannot - and must not - be used for legal or identification purposes will be given. One copy or request is worth $25; and if you need additional copies, you are to pay $2 for each only provided that you order the records on the same day you asked for the initial copy. Options for ordering vital documents can be found at the New Jersey Vital Statistics website.

After you submit your request, you may be asked to wait for several days or weeks for the result. State agencies are normally up-to-the-brim with requests, which is why it takes some time before they are able to complete an action on applications. You don't need to go this way, though. There is an easier and more convenient option: hiring the services of online record searchers. These Internet-based record providers work faster than state agencies and offices because they have a comprehensive database that they can access anytime. Your request for New Jersey Marriage Records will be taken care of immediately, as all that needs to be done is fill out a form with the complete details of the record needed. Once it is submit, the search begins and you'll get the results as soon as possible.

What a lot of people like about online record providers is that everything can be done at home. No need for you to disrupt your schedule. With just a few clicks of the mouse and entering of data, you will get what you need. Best of all, you don't need to pay for an additional fee for every extra copy that you request. With online record providers, you pay once only - and a very minimal fee at that - you get the Marriage Record, plus unlimited access to all other public records that you may need in the future. Now, isn't that what being practical is all about?
