Mono County Marriage Records

While marriage is something that is necessarily celebrated in private or in the company of a few friends, it could not be denied that marriage is something that the general public is interested in.

It is a fact as well that marriage affects not only the status of those who are party to the marriage, but even those who are not, such as relatives. In fact, there are even some whose status would be affected by the marriage even if they had not yet been born. It is for this reason that people sometimes require access to a record known as Mono County Marriage Records are public records, and this classification means that they are supposed to be available to the public at all times.

Informational copies and its counterpart, certified copies, do provide the same information, but informational copies could not be used for official purposes as only certified copies could be used for that. Certified copies are only available to a number of people identified in an exclusive list provided for by law.
