“The Truth About Marriage Records Sites… ”

By, Ryan Sommers

Thanks to the power of the internet, you can go now online and grab Public Records on just about anyone, including their Marriage Records. If you know where to look, it’s now easy to pull up information on someone such as:

If you do a search on Google for “Marriage Records” you will see that there are literally dozens of sites claiming to offer access to this information, but unfortunately not all of them are created equal. 

There are big differences in the size of their databases, the frequency they update their databases with new and accurate marriage record information, and the amount of information their databases contain on each individual person. 

For example, some sites claiming to offer access to a person’s marriage records will ask you to pay a fee to get a “full report” on that person, then ask you to submit your credit card number.  

Unfortunately it’s only AFTER you pay that you discover what kind of information they really have on that person… or even if it is the correct person at all! 

How To Spot A Scam: 

First of all, any site that claims to offer free access to marriage records is flat out lying.  

In order to provide access to the databases, the sites have to pay a licensing fee – to the tune of thousands of dollars. 

They make their money by then re-selling access to customers for a small fee. 

Here’s a simple chart explaining the process: 

The problem comes in when the distributor sites get lazy or cheap. You see, to keep their databases updated with accurate and complete marriage information, they have to pay these large fees yearly… so if they decide to get cheap and skip a payment, they lose access to the databases and are forced to sell you incomplete or out-dated information. 

It’s not uncommon for a site to offer a full collection of marriage records on a person, then – after taking your money – only provide you with a birth certificate and some old property records because they don’t have recent data on marriages, divorces, annulments, child support payments, or God forbid criminal charges.  

Some of the sites out there are selling access to marriage records databases that are literally YEARS old! Because they just didn’t want to pay the large fees to update them.  

Here at ConsumersGuides.net, we set out to discover which of these sites really came thru with complete, accurate, and up-to-date records. 

Considering that the good public records sites charge the same fees as those who don’t have the latest data, using any other site is simply a waste of your money! 

In order to put these sites to the test, we signed up for them then began running dozens of names through their systems.  

To verify the information was correct, we used the names of people of whom we knew their complete marriage history… including some that we had read about in the news that had tried to hide it!  

After testing over a dozen of these sites, these are the 3 we found to have consistently accurate and complete data that was up-to-date. If you’re going to use an online Marriage and Public Records service, these 3 are the only ones you should use:
