Are marriage license applications a matter of public record and if so how can I find records for free online?

They are public records, but "public" does not necessarily transalte to 'free' and 'on-line.' The sheer volume and budgetary restraints many of these small government offices works under precludes MUCH of the day-to-day workload from being reduced to computerized entries. Much the same reasons that recording day-to-day law enforcement and court information is virtually impossible to keep up with due to the sheer mountainous workload. The records are there, just go down to the office and ask to review them yourself... in-person.

"Marriage" is a legal word and is contractual in the eyes of the government. Another view... Lawful, however is a different word with a different meaning. Because God's law's are over man's laws and He first ordained marriage, you do not need to have a marriage license in order to be married. There are many Godly preachers who will marry a couple without a license. Marriage is a covenant between you and God. There is also the matter of the definition of the word "license." It is "something given to you by a competent authority which allows you to do something which would otherwise be unlawful." Marriage is not unlawful and therefore does not require a license. In addition, a license gives the state jurisdiction over your marriage and the fruits thereof -- your children. Many cite this alone as reason for not obtaining a marriage license.In many states it is illegal to conduct a marriage ceremony without a valid license. Without the license the marriage is not official. *If the couple wishing to marry reside in a state that allows common law marriage, a license is not required, nor is a formal service as long as they adhere to the established legal procedures required for the recognition of such a union.
