Marriage License Versus Marriage Certificate When looking for proof of marriage, don't be confused by marriage licenses and marriage certificates. Here is the difference:
A marriage license: issued as permission for a marriage to take place.
A marriage certificate: once the marriage has taken place, the married couple is provided with a marriage certificate. The marriage certificate serves as proof of marriage.
Find marriage records in family records such as wills, bibles and pension applications. Most of these documents contain specific marriage information. If you want to verify that a marriage record exists, companies such as Veromi, are easy to use and can reveal proof of marriage certificates issued by state and/or government agencies.
