Warrick County Marriage License
Marriage licenses are issued by the Warrick County Clerk of the Courts. The official marriage license page says both parties must be 18 years old or have consent, and a driver's license or birth certificate is required to confirm age. At least one party must be a Warrick County resident for the resident fee. Out-of-state applicants may use Warrick County if the marriage will occur in Warrick County.
The county asks applicants to enter personal information before coming in so the office visit moves faster. Applicants are asked to arrive no later than 3:15 p.m. during Clerk office hours. If the applicants want the office to perform the ceremony, the county prefers an appointment. A license is valid for sixty days and may be used anywhere in Indiana.

Apply for Warrick County Marriage License
The marriage-license workflow starts online but finishes with the Clerk. The pre-entry form helps gather required personal information before the visit. It does not remove the need to appear, present proof of age, pay the license fee, and complete the Clerk process.
- Review the Warrick County marriage license rules and confirm that the couple qualifies for a Warrick County license.
- Use the state-hosted marriage license pre-application linked by the county to enter applicant information.
- Bring a driver's license or birth certificate for proof of age.
- Arrive at the Clerk's Office early enough for processing, with the county asking applicants to arrive no later than 3:15 p.m.
- Pay by cash, card, or money order. Personal checks are not accepted.
- Use the license within sixty days and within Indiana.
- After the marriage is recorded, request copies from the Clerk and verify the current copy fee.

Warrick County Marriage Divorce Fees
The Clerk page and marriage-license subpage provide the core fee facts, including one conflict. The marriage-license subpage says a copy of the license after marriage is $2. The Clerk main page says $4. Because both are official county sources, the copy amount should be verified with the Clerk before payment or publication of a fixed copy price.
| Item | Amount or rule |
|---|---|
| Marriage license, at least one Warrick resident | $25 |
| Out-of-state applicants marrying in Warrick County | $65 |
| Marriage license copy after marriage | Conflicting official amounts: $2 on marriage-license page; $4 on Clerk page. |
| Payment methods for marriage license | Cash, card, or money order; no personal checks. |
| Domestic relations/divorce filing | $157 civil filing fee. |
| Sheriff service in divorce case | Additional $28 per case if requested. |
| Certified divorce copies | Call the Clerk for current copy and certification requirements. |
Note: The conflicting $2 and $4 marriage copy amounts are both official-county-source values, so the Clerk should resolve the current amount.
Search Warrick County Marriage Records
The Indiana Marriage License Public Lookup searches publicly accessible information about Indiana marriage licenses. The portal includes many, but not all, Indiana marriage records from 1993 to present. If the record does not appear, or if certification is needed, contact the Clerk that issued the license. For Warrick licenses, that is the Warrick County Clerk of the Courts.
| Lookup field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Party first name | Text | Optional or unspecified | Search by spouse or applicant name. |
| Party last name | Text | Likely required for name search | Use legal name. |
| County | Dropdown | No | Select Warrick to narrow results. |
| Date range | Date | No | Use marriage or license date if known. |
| Search | Button | Yes | Runs the public lookup. |

The statewide lookup is useful for public search, while the Warrick Clerk remains the source for certified copies and local recording confirmation.
Find Warrick County Divorce Records
Divorce cases are domestic relations court cases handled by Warrick County trial courts and filed with the Clerk. Self-represented filers are directed to IndianaLegalHelp.org forms. For domestic relations and divorce filings, the Clerk needs one original and two copies. If sheriff service is requested, the Clerk needs one original and three copies. The civil filing fee is $157, with sheriff service adding $28 per case.
- Use IndianaLegalHelp.org forms or attorney-prepared filings.
- Prepare one original and two copies, or one original and three copies when sheriff service is requested.
- File with the Warrick County Clerk at the Judicial Center.
- Pay the civil filing fee or request a fee waiver if eligible.
- Complete service on the other party.
- Follow court orders, mediation requirements, parenting or support notices, and hearing dates.
- Use MyCase to monitor public docket entries, then contact the Clerk for certified decrees or copies.
Divorce case information, if public and not sealed or confidential, may be searched in MyCase. Sensitive family-law information, protected identifiers, and sealed records may not be online. Certified divorce decrees and case documents should be requested from the Clerk, not from a marriage lookup portal.
Warrick County Divorce Access Limits
Marriage licenses and divorce files do not follow the same access path. Marriage license lookup is a statewide public license search with partial historical coverage. Divorce files are court records governed by Indiana access rules, court orders, and family-law confidentiality. Public records may show case number, parties, filing date, hearings, orders, and disposition, but restricted documents or private data can be redacted or withheld.
The family-law source image comes from Indiana Code Title 31.
Indiana family-law rules matter most when a divorce file includes children, support, protected information, or other sensitive domestic relations material.
Warrick County Certified Copy Routes
For marriage copies, start with the Warrick County Clerk because the Clerk issued and records local marriage licenses. For divorce decrees, use MyCase to identify the case when possible, then request certified copies from the Clerk. Call 812-897-6160 before mailing a request because the research did not locate a dedicated copy-request mail form or a complete copy fee schedule.
Administrative records may be requested in writing under Warrick County Code Section 39.08, but court case documents are governed by Indiana court access rules. The county Health Department operates from the Old Courthouse and handles vital-record functions, but divorce decrees and local marriage license copies are Clerk/court record routes based on the research.

The Health Department location helps distinguish vital-record offices from the Judicial Center, where Clerk and court copy routes are handled.
