What are the Fees for a Marriage Certificate?

The fee is $14 for the first copy and $2 for each additional copy of the same certificate, requested at the same time.

What about Genealogical research?

Marriage records had to occur 75 years ago or earlier to be classified as genealogy records. The application is the same and the fee is $1 per record. Genealogical records are not certified, but are stamped "For Genealogical Purposes Only."
