SEARCH ONLINE FOR COPIES OF MARRIAGE LICENSES

If you simply need to get a copy of your marriage license you may search online for your marriage license at the website address below. This database contains many—but not all—marriage records from 1993 to the present. Because not every Indiana County uses the INcite e-file system, some records must be manually entered much later than the marriage took place.
