  A license obtained in Pennsylvania may only be used in this state. The applicant may apply in any county and be married in any other county. (Such as applying here in Beaver County and being married in Philadelphia.).

  To obtain specific information on the out-of-state requirements, which often differ from those of Pennsylvania, contact the Bureau of Laboratories at (215) 363-8500 or the state or territory where the ceremony is to be performed.

   

Copy of Certificate of Marriage:

In Pennsylvania copies of marriage records were required to be filed starting in 1885. Copies of these marriages may be obtained from the courthouse in the county where the marriage license was issued. There are three types of marriage records available. The first is a plain copy of the marriage record which is typically for family genealogy records or personal use. The second (one-seal) and third type (triple-seal) are for official purposes and used by the persons named in the records. Order Copies of Records Online

After 1906, all birth and death records are stored in the Vital Record Division of the Pennsylvania Department of Health.

It is important that you verify all information with your Clerk of Orphans' Court before making any wedding or travel plans.
