Marriage, Divorce, Birth & Death Certificates

Many Missouri residents can quickly obtain their birth, death, marriage, and divorce records at the local level. However, while there are some types of vital records available at the county level, there are other types of records that are only available from the Bureau of Vital Records in Jefferson City. For a listing of all available vital records and their availability, contact the Bureau of Vital Records.

Locally, marriage licenses can be obtained from the Recorder of Deeds Office in the county where the license was obtained. Divorce decrees can be obtained from the Circuit Clerk in the county where the divorce was granted.
