How to Find Marriage Records in Nebraska
Marriage Records in Nebraska
Marriage records contain basic details about the married couple and the
marriage. This information includes the names of the couple, the date of
the marriage, and the place of marriage. Some marriage records will also
include the names of the mothers and fathers of the married couple.
Additionally, some records contain the names of the official witnesses
to the marriage. Some governmental marriage records contain the maiden
names of the mothers of the bride and groom as well as the place of
residence of the married couple.
A marriage record is not the same thing as a marriage license, a
marriage announcement, or a marriage index. The marriage license is the
legal document that was issued to the bride and groom. The marriage
announcement is the public listing of the wedding such as in a published
newspaper.
A marriage index is simply a list of the marriages within a specific
location, typically an entire state. In general, such an index includes
the names of the bride and groom, the date of the marriage, the name of
the county in which the marriage occurred, and either the file number of
the license or the volume and page name for a register listing as well
as the official location of the marriage record.
In Nebraska, certified copies of marriage records must be obtained from
the county courthouse office. It is necessary to contact the County
Clerk at the local county courthouse where the records are kept.
However, the state does have marriage records since 1909 on file. To
obtain the lookup and copy fee for the marriage record for a particular
county in Nebraska, call 402-471-2871.
For a successful search for the marriage records that you are trying to
locate, follow these steps:
1. Print or type each name and address clearly to avoid confusion. This
includes the full name of both the husband and the wife. The maiden name
should be included for the wife. Include nicknames and alternate
spellings that may have been used, but list them as such.
2. Keep your request brief and to the point.
3. Limit your request to one marriage record.
4. Include the full address of the individuals at the time of the
marriage, including street, city or town, and state. If you know the
county in which the marriage took place, include that as well.
5. Include the date that the marriage occurred. If you do not know the
date, include a time frame for the search. Generally, it is best to
specify a short span of years for an unknown year search. You can always
expand the number of years that you search, and a shorter span will lead
to a shorter search. You can expect to pay an additional fee for
searches such as this that require more effort.
6. Include contact information where you can be reached in the event
that more information is required. Include a telephone number, fax
number, or an e-mail address.
7. Include your relationship to the individuals listed in your search
request.
8. Include the reason for your request.
9. Print your name clearly and sign your request. Some states may also
require additional identifying information on you as well. Therefore,
you may want to include your driver�s license number.
10. Include a SASE, or self addressed stamped envelope with your request
for a speedier delivery.
11. Include the date that you mail your request with your
correspondence.
To obtain a copy of a marriage record, contact the Clerk in the specific
county office where the marriage license was issued. Remember to provide
as much accurate information as you have available on the subject of the
search, sufficient contact information for yourself, and the required
fee. Providing the necessary information will speed the process up
considerably.
