Find Marriage Records - How to Get New York State Marriage Records
The first step in finding New York marriage records is figuring out whether the wedding took place in New York City or New York State. This article assumes you have already done this, and know that the marriage was held outside New York City and its 5 boroughs, Manhattan, Kings (also known as Brooklyn), Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island (also known as Richmond).
For a New York State wedding, you can order a certified copy of the marriage certificate using the information in the Vital Records section of the New York State Department of Health website.
You can request certified copies of marriage records by mail, or by telephone using the information at the website. You can also request records online through a third-party service, for an additional fee (currently $7.50).
The basic fee for conducting a search is $30 ($45 if you want priority handling). Depending on exactly how you order it and whether you're willing to pay for priority handling, you will receive your results in somewhere between 5 business days and 8 weeks.
But there's another catch. New York State requires that you prove to their satisfaction that you are entitled to have a copy of the marriage certificate. See the website for more on what constitutes acceptable proof.
Fortunately, there's a much better way to go if you just need the facts and not a certified copy of the marriage license. It costs less than going through the state and doesn't force you to wait days or weeks for results. And you don't have to prove to anyone that you should be allowed to have the information you seek.
The better way to go is to use a commercial Marriage Records Search website. These websites provide the facts about the wedding (not a certified copy of the marriage certificate) in minutes, without any of the delays and requirements you face when going through the state.
And you can do it for significantly less cost too. The sites are easy to use, and provide information from across the US, so you don't have to worry about whether the wedding was held in New York City or New York State!
