Marriage records most often consist of applications and
licenses. Applications are considered private and are available
only to the subject of the record for up to 100 years (UCA
63-2-202). Licenses, the civil record providing recognition
of a marriage, are generally public, but have very limited
availability with the Utah State Archives.
For the records we do have listed below, most series are
not indexed by name so researchers must provide a date
or visit the Research Center in person. We do have available
a commercially-produced CD-ROM indexing marriages in Salt
Lake, Davis and Weber counties to aid in this search. The Western
State Marriages Index maintained by BYU-Idaho
Special Collections indexes marriages
from all counties in Utah for various date spans, including
most before 1900. Though not a complete index, searching
is free and easy online and is certainly a worthy starting
point to narrow down or confirm a possible marriage record
location. Also see the list
of counties by state that includes a link to available
microfilm of the original records available through the
LDS
Family History Library system.
Whether using such indexes or not, it is recommended
that patrons contact the clerk's office of the county
where the marriage
took place to inquire about obtaining copies of records.
The Research Center provides a list
of county office contact information online.
