If You Need Certified Copies of Records

If you are searching for Maryland marriage records, you may find that your research is rather tedious. The reason is simple. There isn’t a true central location where all marriage records are stored in the state. Some information is at the state archives. More likely, you’ll have to look to the local circuit courts, where many of the records are still filed. To do this, you’ll need to know exactly where the wedding was held. From that you’ll need to figure out which circuit court should have the records. Then you can contact that court to find out how to get access to those records. The state archives do contain contact information for each of the circuit courts (see the URL below), so at least that part of the task is pretty easy. Still, fast and easy are not terms you would apply to this process.

The bottom line is that you can look forward to a lot of effort if you need to search Maryland marriage records.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Let me tell you about a free-market approach to getting information without the delays and hassles involved in getting a certified copy of the marriage certificate.
