How can I look online to see if someone is married?

Question

Is there an online database that I can look up my county public records?

Answer 1

From what little I can see, the BMD (births, deaths & marriage) records for Alabama are only available to view in your local library.

Answer 2

You really have two separate issues here.

YOUR county might have public records online. That could include marriages.. it may include only such things as tax assessor, or such. Nothing guarantees that any county will / won't have those records online. You have to go county by county.

The second part .. can you find if someone is married?? the reality is no, you can't.  There is no huge database of marriages.

Even if you can find marriage records for your county, and online.. that means nothing. The person could have married in another county or even state.

The internet is great.. it has limitations.  

Answer 3

You can Google "Marriage records {county} {state}" to see. Our county had them up for a while, then took them down for privacy reasons.

There are two obvious privacy issues - 8-pound babies born in September to couples married in June, and people's maiden names. If you can find a person's parents, you can find his/he rmother's maiden name and be that much closer to stealing his/her identity.

Those are the two obvious ones. There are probably more.

You can ask the fellow for his home land-line (not cell) phone number, if you doubt his story about being single. If he is married, he won't give it to you.

Answer 4

Absolutely.  There should be a database for marriage, divorce, death certificates, however I do not think they do this in every state - as of yet.  I would just start out with doing a basic google search for marriage certificates and see if anything is mentioned for the state you are looking into. It may seem impossible to find, but there is so much information out there on the internet if you look hard enough.

Thanks for reading!

Answer 5

http://www.intelius.com is a search of public record databases. If there's a database reporting a marriage (like if they bought a house together), then there's a record under "possible relatives".
