Where can I obtain a copy of a recent marriage record in Indiana?
Marriages are public records in Indiana. Current marriage records are available from the local county clerk’s offices. The Indiana State Department of Health began compiling a statewide marriage index in 1958. This was compiled as an information source only; the state does not keep copies of marriage records. The index indicates the county where the couple took out their marriage license. The Indiana State Library has a copy of the statewide marriage index on microfilm from 1962-1997. We also have the index in print form available in our Reading Room, 1958-1965. If you send us an e-mail or letter request, we can check the Indiana Statewide Marriage Index for a few years for specific names. For a marriage that took place after 1997, contact the local county clerk’s offices, in the county where the marriage license was issued. If you don’t know the county where the marriage license was issued you can contact the Indiana State Department of Health directly. Back to Top My ancestor was bor
