Inyo County Marriage Records

Relationships form through various methods, and marriage is one of those methods because after the ceremony and registration of the same, new relationships are formed in the sense that two families, formerly strangers to each other, are now family. This is one of the reasons why the government monitors marriages in the first place, and the records of this monitoring is what is known as the Inyo County Marriage Records.

Marriage Records Inyo County are public records, and this classification means that they are available to the public at all times. Note, however, that just because they are supposed to be available at all times does not mean that they would be, for there are two types of copies of marriage records, informational copies and certified copies, with the latter being limited only to those who were party to the marriage or are related to them. In general, however, the two types provide the same information; it is just that the certified copies could be used in legal processes, hence, the limitation.

Once complete, the application form and all requirements should be sent to the office of the recorder for processing.
