Court makes records announcement

Submitted information

Beginning on Monday, August 18, the Van Wert County Probate Court will be unable to generate certified marriage license requests for marriages prior to 1993 starting August 18, 2025. Court officials anticipate they will be able to resume certified marriage license requests for all marriage licenses on September 2.

“We are having marriage licenses prior to 1993 scanned which will make them easier for the public to access,” Court Administrator Suzi Kallas said. “Additionally, we must retain marriage licenses permanently and having them scanned will protect and preserve them from natural disaster situations and normal deterioration.”
