In Arkansas official recording of vital records like marriage records was not required until 1917.

The Arkansas Department of Health, Vital Records Division, maintains marriage records beginning in January 1917 and divorce records that begin in January 1923. (They do not have records prior to those dates.)

The Division of Vital Records does not have the actual marriage license or divorce decree but will issue a certified copy of the coupon of marriage or divorce in paper form. The cost of a marriage or divorce coupon is $10.00 for each copy. For a copy of the actual marriage license, contact the County Clerk or Circuit Clerk where the record was recorded.

Arkansas Vital Records Statute 20-18-305 only allows the Arkansas Department of Health to release marriage and divorce coupons to the bride and groom, their designated representatives, specific persons who are related to the registrants, to academic research groups, and to persons who can demonstrate a right to the record. County officials may operate under different rules about public access.  Early Arkansas marriage records are public records.

Information found on an Arkansas marriage license:

• Bride's maiden name, birth date, and age
• Groom's full name, birth date, and age
• Residences and parents names
• Any previous marriages and/or divorces
• Name of the marriage officiate
