Wedding dates are part of the public records. In most regions, they are published in the local newspaper and on the website within a month after the event. If you are looking for a long-term marriage date and do not have a marriage certificate or license forum, then you need to request this information at the state or county level. You can find out someone's wedding date online and from your county search clerk.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Recent Marriages

1. 1 Find out the location of the wedding, if possible. This will allow you to identify the newspapers that may have published the date.
2. 2 Find the full names of the spouses. Learning middle names can allow you to target results.
3. 3 Visit the website of the newspaper at the place of the person's marriage. Look for names in the classifieds section or government records.
4. 4 Go to the public library for more information on your local newspaper. You can also look for the entries in the newspaper office.
5. 5 Use a search engine. Enter the person's name. Include both names if possible.
6. 6 Take a look at several pages of posts. Sometimes the wedding date is listed on marriage blogs, Facebook accounts, or wedding magazine sites.
7. 7 Go to the place where the person was registered to receive wedding gifts. Call or search the online directory for the person's name.
   • Most registries store the name and date of marriage up to 2 years after the wedding, in addition to potential gifts.

Method 2 of 3: Marriage Records

1. 1 Check the forum or marriage certificate repository in your area. Not all areas have such forums, but if they do, it will allow you to find the date of the person's marriage without going to the office.
   • Visit websearchguides.com/marriage_and_divorce_records.htm#partII to see if there is a marriage certificate forum in your area.
2. 2 Go to the county records office in the place where the person got married. Marriage certificates stating the date of marriage are issued by the county clerk and can be searched at the county registrar's office.
3. 3 Fill out the form on site to search for marriage records. You may be asked to pay between $ 5 and $ 50 to complete a search.
   • You can search the internet through the county clerk's website. You may or may not need to create an account and provide a credit card number to search the internet.

Method 3 of 3: Online Agencies

1. 1 Look for personal information on a website or agencyhttp://marriagerecords.freebackgroundcheck.org.
   • Remember that there is no national marriage database, so you should not trust that the service's background check fee will provide this information.
2. 2 Register an online account. Not many agencies allow searches without this.
3. 3 Sign up for a free trial to access the recording or pay to use the service. Remember, results are not guaranteed even if you pay.
4. 4 Search the online database. You can also pay for a full check, which will give you other personal information in addition to your marriage date.
5. 5 If possible, check the records in the database before paying. Several sites will show you which years to explore in that state.
