State registration of marriages began in 1847 and was generally complied with by 1913.

You can obtain marriage records for the most recent 40 years by writing to the Bureau of Vital Statistics. For marriages recorded more than 40 years ago, contact the Delaware Public Archives. | State registration of marriages began in 1847 and was generally complied with by 1913.
