Request A Marriage Certificate
A certified marriage certificate with a raised seal is $16.50 and $13.00 for each additional copy purchased in the same transaction.
A marriage license is filed with the Clerk after the marriage ceremony takes place. After that occurs, the Clerk's office can issue you a certified copy of your marriage certificate upon request. Marriage certificates are not automatically sent to couples.
If the marriage took place more than 75 years ago, anyone can obtain a complete copy of the certificate. If it is less than 75 years old only the bride(s) and/or groom(s) may obtain a complete copy. Only the front side would be available to the general public.
The Champaign County Clerk has marriage certificates for those who married in Champaign County from 1833 to present.
