Get a Certified Copy of Your Johnson County Marriage Certificate Fast

A wedding should always be a wonderful time, but little thought is given to the work that has to be done to get it that way. Even beyond the planning, there's a lot of legal paperwork that goes into officiating a union such as getting marriage licenses and the marriage certificate.

A marriage certificate is proof of marriage and is needed for a number of other legal documents and transactions. But if you end up losing your copy, don't panic - let DoNotPay order you a new copy of your Johnson County marriage certificate today.

Who Can Get a Marriage Certificate Copy in Johnson County?

There are a few requirements one must meet in order to request a copy of a marriage certificate in Kansas, including Johnson County. These are:

• Be one of the named parties on the certificate.
• Be an immediate family member, such as parent or sibling.
• Be a legal representative of one of the people named on the certificate.
• Have a vested interest and need for a copy of the certificate.

For the last two categories, you'll need to have a written interest form to be considered. That's to ensure that not just any random person can walk in and ask for marriage records.

Quickest results are those that have you coming in to pick up your copy, such as walk-in orders or will-calls (they call you when they've made the copy so you can come get it). Those that involve mailing the copy to you will depend on the speed of the post office.
