Digging Up the Proof of Love: The Fulton County Way
The good folks at the Fulton County Probate Court have your back. You can get a certified copy of your marriage certificate by mail or in person.
In Person: Feeling spontaneous? Head down to the Fulton County Probate Court with your best "I do" face on (optional, but totally wins you brownie points with the clerk). Make sure to check their website for current hours and locations.
By Mail: More of a Netflix and chill kinda couple? No worries! Get comfy on the couch and follow these steps:
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Track down the Marriage Certificate Request Form: This magical piece of paper is your key to wedded bliss (again). You can find it on the Fulton County Probate Court website [fulton county probate court marriage certificate ON Fulton County Government (.gov) fultoncountyga.gov]. Print that baby out!
Fill 'er Up: Grab a pen and unleash your inner calligrapher. You'll need to fill out some info on the form, including your and your spouse's pre-marital names (remember those?).
Money, Money, Money: Every love story has a price tag, and this one is a cool $10 per copy. They only accept money orders made out to Fulton County Probate Court, so skip the piggy bank and hit the drugstore for a money order instead (unless you have a secret stash of blank money orders, then by all means, use those!).
Snail Mail Shuffle: Here comes the fun part (or not so fun, depending on your love for snail mail). Put the completed form, a self-addressed stamped envelope (big enough for the certificate, people!), and your money order in a big envelope and mail it to:
Fulton County Probate CourtAttn: Records Division136 Pryor Street SW, 2nd FloorAtlanta, GA 30303
Then, patiently wait for your certified copy to arrive in the mail. It should be there in a few business days, but hey, maybe use this time to recreate your wedding vows, just for fun!
Bonus Tip: Double-Check the Date!
Marriages before 1979 in Fulton County issued marriage licenses, not certificates. If your special day falls before this date, you'll need to request a certified copy of the marriage license instead. Same process, just a different term!
