Find Union County Marriage Records

Union County Marriage License Records

Union County Probate Court issues marriage licenses and maintains the license and application records for marriages applied for in Union County. The official county marriage page states that the Probate Court issues certified and plain copies of those records, but it does not perform marriage ceremonies. The record path is local: start with Union County marriage licenses for the county rules, then use the Georgia Probate Records application or search module when the record can be handled online.

Applicants may begin the process through the Georgia Probate Records marriage application. The online application is not the full license by itself. Within two weeks, both applicants must appear at Probate Court to complete the application. Licenses are issued Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Probate Court's regular counter hours end earlier than the full courthouse day for walk-in customers.

The manifest image for the county license page comes from the Union County Probate Court marriage license instructions.

That local page is the key source for Union County marriage record rules because it ties the online application, copy requests, fees, and in-person completion requirement to the same Probate Court office.

Apply For Union County Marriage Records

A Union County marriage license requires both applicants to complete the local Probate Court process. Each applicant must be at least 18, except the county notes that some circumstances may allow a 17-year-old to obtain a license and instructs callers to contact Probate Court for more information. Both applicants need picture identification showing date of birth. If either applicant was married before, the court requires a divorce decree or the former spouse's death certificate.

1. Start the application through Georgia Probate Records or prepare to apply at Union County Probate Court.
2. Bring picture identification for both applicants, including date of birth.
3. Bring a divorce decree or death certificate if a prior marriage applies.
4. Appear together at Probate Court within two weeks if the online application was submitted.
5. Pay the license fee based on whether a qualified premarital counseling certificate is presented.
6. Return the signed license to the issuing Probate Court after the ceremony so the marriage record can be recorded.

Residency affects where the license may be issued. At least one applicant must be a Georgia resident to apply in a county other than the ceremony county. If both applicants are nonresidents, the Union County page says the application must be made in the Georgia county where the ceremony will take place.

Union County Marriage Application Fields

The Georgia Probate Records application asks for more than names and a ceremony date. It collects current residence data, birth information, parent information, race, phone numbers, future surnames, and ceremony location details. Validation found in the research shows many applicant fields are required before submission, so a couple should gather parent birthplaces and prior-marriage documents before starting.

The application module supports Union County applicants, but the county rule still requires the applicants to complete the process with Probate Court in person.

Union County Marriage and Divorce Fees

Union County publishes marriage license and certified marriage copy fees through Probate Court. The research did not locate an official Union County divorce filing fee schedule or certified divorce copy amount. Because divorce decrees are Superior Court records, certified divorce copy costs should be confirmed with the Clerk of Superior Court before ordering.

Premarital education must include at least six hours on marital issues, including conflict management, communication skills, financial responsibilities, child and parenting responsibilities, and extended family roles. The couple must complete the program together within twelve months before the application.

Look Up Union County Marriage Records

Recorded Union County marriage records can be searched through the Georgia Probate Records marriage search. The search form includes county, applicant names, issued date range, marriage date range, and recorded date range. No login prompt was observed before search in the researched interface. The portal should be treated as a search and index channel unless a specific result shows document access or a copy-order option.

The search fields are useful for narrowing Union County marriage records when the exact license number is not known.

Find Union County Divorce Records

Union County divorce records are not Probate Court records. The county open-records routing page sends divorce decrees to the Clerk of Superior Court at 706-439-6022. A divorce case is a Superior Court domestic-relations matter, and the file may include the complaint for divorce, answer, domestic relations standing order, settlement agreement, parenting plan, child support worksheet, orders, and final decree.

A person searching for Union County divorce records should identify the spouse names, approximate filing or decree date, and any known Superior Court case number. Some domestic information may be restricted or redacted, especially when minor children, financial account data, or sealed material is involved. For the broader Superior Court file path, the Union County Clerk of Superior Court is the correct office name and link text for this Georgia project.

Note: Probate Court handles marriage licenses, but the final divorce decree belongs with Superior Court records.

Certified Union County Marriage Records

Certified marriage copies are issued by Union County Probate Court for marriages applied for in Union County. The official page lists certified copies at $10 each and also refers to plain copies. Certified copies are commonly needed for name changes, benefits, passport work, and other official uses. Plain copies may be enough for reference, but they should not be treated as a legal substitute unless the receiving agency accepts them.

Certified divorce decree copies should be requested from the Clerk of Superior Court because divorce decrees route there. When ordering either type of certified record, use the full names, date range, and record type. If the record is not found online, call the correct office rather than assuming it does not exist.

Georgia Vital Records Limits

For Union County marriage and divorce record work, the researched local channels are Probate Court and the Clerk of Superior Court. The county research did not identify a local divorce search portal or a separate Georgia vital-records channel that replaces those offices for Union County court copies. Use Probate Court for licenses and certified marriage copies tied to Union applications. Use Superior Court for divorce decrees.
