Marriage records are kept on a county level and must be obtained from the county in which the application for license was submitted.  This may not be the county in which the wedding took place.

Prior to March 1, 1979, Minnesota Law required all marriage applications to be made in the County of the Bride's residence.  After March 1, 1979, the marriage license application can be made in any Minnesota County.
