REQUESTING A COPY OF A MARRIAGE RECORD

The Vanderburgh County Clerk's Office is responsible for Vanderburgh County Marriage Records from 1835 to the present year, and we can also provide copies of marriage applications from the original books, which may be useful for genealogical purposes. 

Regular copies are $1.00 each.  Certified copies are $2.00 each.

You may also contact the Vanderburgh County Clerk's Office to obtain certified copies of a Marriage License, the legal document needed to provide proof of marriage.
