Certified Copies of Marriage Certificates
You may obtain a certified copy of your marriage certificate from the office that issued the marriage license after the ceremony has been performed and the original has been filed. Here in Ward County we ask that you mail us a request with your names and date of marriage. As all fees must be paid in advance, please include a $8.00 fee for marriages filed through Dec. 31, 1994, or a $6.00 fee for marriages filed after Jan. 1, 1995.
