Orange County Marriage Record

There are some rights that are only applicable to married couples, just as there are some obligations that are only imposed upon married couples. Most of these rights and obligations are relevant only when it comes to the two parties to the marriage, but there are those that are actually relevant to third persons. Not to mention the rights and obligations of the married couple as a whole, to not only third persons, but even to their own children. When one takes all of this into consideration, one could see the reason why a registry of records, like the Orange County Marriage Records repository, is required.

As public records, Marriage Records Orange County are supposed to be available to the general public at all times, but this is only true for informational copies, as California law require that certified copies be limited only to those people that are included in an exclusive list provided for by law. One must note, however, that informational and certified copies provide the same information, so there really is not much problem there. Informational copies, however, could not be used for official purposes and are only used for informational purposes.

A person making a request for Orange County Marriage License Records would have several sources where they could request for the same. The primary source that a searcher should check, however, would have to be the office of the recorder, because the recorder is the official custodian of all records within the county. A request for marriage records at this venue would start with the searcher first downloading the relevant form from the website of the office of the recorder. This is because there is only one method available at this venue, and that method is requesting through mail. Note that if the searcher are not amongst those mentioned in the exclusive list, it would be useless to request for a certified copy, but if the searcher is part of the list and would like to request for a certified copy, the application form would first have to be notarized when it is complete, and a sworn statement should be attached to the same. A money order or a check to answer for the required fee, fifteen dollars per record, would then have to be attached to the application form. The form and all other requirements should be sent to the office of the recorder for processing, a procedure that usually takes anywhere between two to ten days.

A request here is also done through mail and would start with the searcher first downloading the relevant form from the website of the department.
