Marriage Records Indiana IN:

Indiana Public Info

Even though marriage licenses became compulsory in Indiana in the year 1800, the state records were collected and maintained beginning only from the year 1958. Marriage records predating this period have been maintained by the country clerk’s office, beginning with the year in which the county was formed up until the present day.

Before 1940, a couple who wished to get married in Indiana was required to obtain a license from the county in which the bride resided. As such, many marriages took place in Cincinnati which had more relaxed marriage laws. If the marriage record of an ancestor is not found in Marriage Records, then the Cincinnati marriage records are the second best option.

Beginning from 1958, the State Board of Health started to compile the Indiana Marriage Index. Their address is:

Vital Records Department
Indiana State Board of Health
6 West Washington St.
Indianapolis, 46204

While the annual indexes for 1958-1965 are stored on paper, records between 1966 and 1981 are available on microfilm. In recent years, several more projects have been started that involve the indexing of the Indiana Marriage papers. Indiana Marriages Thru 1820 and The Hoosier Genealogist are two of the better known projects.
