Request Certified Copies

A certified copy of your marriage license is used to show proof of marriage, or effect a name change with agencies such as Social Security or the Department of Motor Vehicles.

To obtain a certified copy, you may either visit the Polk County Clerks Office or request a certified copy by mail.

The fee is $4.00 per certified copy at the counter, or $7.75 if requested through the mail.

When requesting a copy by mail, please include the following information:  both partners names, and name prior to marriage if different, the date you were married, and an address to mail the certified copy back to. Mail your request to:
