California marriage records are technically maintained and updated by the State’s Department of Public Health, office of Vital Records. Other public records are also documented in the same office concerned. Normally, these important public records are only available in places where marriage licenses are granted like in California. The State has proclaimed a public records act that allows anyone to have full access to the public records for whatever legal purposes.

Traditionally, the search is usually done at the office where the records are kept. You may visit the Public’s Health office to begin processing your records request. It could be done through phone call, email, or simply by fax. As part of the requirements you will have to pay for the search service charge. This conventional process of retrieving the California marriage records is taking too much time and effort because of the paper requirements that you need to comply with before your request is being processed.
