Marriage records are accessed by many because they serve as the official papers of a marriage. When the validity of a marriage is questioned, the records will be the proof. In Oklahoma, it is the tasked of the county Clerk of Courts to provide Oklahoma Marriage Records to whomever requests for them. The records are usually kept at the county where the marriage license was filed.

In any marriage, it is important to secure a marriage license. Without the license, a marriage will be considered null and void. A marriage license should be applied for by the couple simultaneously. A license is only good for 90-days. It means that the couple should get married within that span of time for the license to be effective. After the 90-day period, the license will expire, and if the couple still has not married by that time, they will have to secure another license.

There are various important details that are included in a marriage file such as the full names of the bride and the groom, when they were born, where they live, when and where the marriage took place, and many others.
