Finding Arizona Marriage Records[edit | edit source]
- 1864 Arizona territorial law required county recorders to keep marriage records.
- From 1891 to 1912 clerks of the probate court issued marriage licneses.
- Marriage records are maintained by the Clerks of the Superior Court in the county where the event occurred. They are not available from the Office of Vital Records.
| Tip: More marriage information is usually found on the marriage license application or the marriage register. Less information is found on the marriage certificate. |
Next Step: When did the marriage occur? [edit | edit source] |

Search for Gretna Greens-- locations away from the home county where marriage laws were less restrictive. When an Arizona couple's marriage is not in their home county, search for it in alternate places such as Las Vegas, Clark, Nevada, or Yuma, Yuma, Arizona. |

Order the License or Certificate [edit | edit source]
If you have been able to locate your ancestor in a marriage index you can order the certificate or license from the Clerk of the Superior Court of the county in which the marriage took place.
