Find Bullitt County Marriage Records

Bullitt County Marriage License Records

Marriage licenses in Bullitt County are issued by the Bullitt County Clerk, not by the Circuit Court Clerk. The County Clerk is Kevin Mooney, and the office is in the Nina Mooney Annex Building, 149 N. Walnut Street, P.O. Box 6, Shepherdsville, KY 40165. The office phone is 502-543-2513. County Fiscal Court lists fax 502-543-9121 and email kevin.mooney@ky.gov, while office research also captured bullittcoclrk@gmail.com for county clerk contact.

The County Clerk site states that both people must appear together to obtain a marriage license. The license must be used in Kentucky and is valid for 30 days from issuance. The minimum age shown in the captured official source is 18. Accepted proof of age includes a state driver's license, state ID, state birth record, passport, or another government record of age. The clerk page points readers to KRS 402.210 for the Kentucky marriage-license rule set.

Apply for Bullitt County Marriage Records

The marriage license process is an in-person county clerk transaction in the research captured for Bullitt County. The official County Clerk page was partially rendered through site scripts in command-line capture, so no exact online application fields were verified. Use the local office before relying on a third-party form or an old fee chart. The county clerk also handles marriage certificates and related copy requests, while divorce files remain with the court clerk.

1. Contact the Bullitt County Clerk or visit the office page to confirm the current license fee and whether an appointment is needed.
2. Both applicants appear together at the County Clerk office with proof of age from an accepted government record.
3. Provide the information requested by the clerk, sign the license application, and pay the non-refundable license fee.
4. Use the license for a Kentucky ceremony within 30 days of issuance.
5. After the completed license is returned and recorded, request certified marriage copies from the County Clerk when a legal copy is needed.

Note: The research did not locate an official Bullitt County waiting-period statement, so confirm timing with the County Clerk before the ceremony.

Bullitt County Marriage Application Fields

Exact Bullitt County web-form fields were not captured, but the official source identifies the core proof and appearance requirements. The safest way to prepare is to bring government identification and be ready to provide the identity and age details the clerk needs to issue the license under Kentucky law. If a prior marriage or name change affects the application, ask the clerk what proof is required before the visit.

The Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics marriage and divorce page is a separate state copy channel. It does not replace the local license application with the County Clerk.

The manifest source for the state copy channel is the Kentucky vital statistics page.

That state page matters because Bullitt County marriage certificates and divorce certificates from the modern state range may be requested at the state level, while older records route back to the local office.

Bullitt County Marriage and Divorce Fees

Use the fee table as a routing tool, not as a substitute for a current quote from the office. The research captured some local amounts, but it did not locate the exact Bullitt County marriage-license fee, certified marriage-copy fee, divorce filing fee, or certified divorce decree copy fee in official text. The Family Court page did identify a local divorce packet price. County Clerk copy fees were captured for land-record copy channels, which may not control marriage certificate pricing.

Search Bullitt County Marriage Records

Marriage certificate searches should start with the County Clerk because that office issues marriage licenses and handles marriage certificates. The County Clerk's access channels include the office website, in-person service at 149 N. Walnut Street, mail to P.O. Box 6, phone at 502-543-2513, and open-records requests to custodian Kevin Mooney. The County Clerk's open-records page states requests go to Kevin Mooney, Bullitt County Clerk, at the same office address.

The County Clerk also maintains an open records request route and a separate copy request page. Those channels are useful when a person needs a written response or a copy by mail. State vital records can help with Kentucky marriage records from June 1958 to present, but the state office says it cannot verify whether a record exists or perform a genealogical search without a completed application and fee.

Find Bullitt County Divorce Records

Divorce records are court records in Bullitt County. The Bullitt Circuit Court Clerk Family Court page lists divorce as a Family Court case type, along with paternity, custody and visitation, child and spousal support, dependency, juvenile status matters, adoptions, emergency protective orders, and interpersonal protective orders. Public divorce case information may be searched through KYeCourts when the case is public, but certified decrees and full file copies come from the Circuit Court Clerk.

The Circuit Court Clerk is Paulita A. Keith at the Bullitt County Judicial Center, 250 Frank E. Simon Ave., P.O. Box 746, Shepherdsville, KY 40165. KCOJ lists phones 502-543-7104 and 502-955-7764, with additional office phone lines 502-543-2244 and 502-955-7512. Family-law files can contain financial, child, domestic-violence, juvenile, adoption, and personal identifier material. Those parts may be sealed, restricted, or redacted even when the case itself appears in a public index. Broader case access rules are covered in Bullitt County court records.

Certified Bullitt County Copies

Certified copies are used when a record must prove a legal event, such as a marriage, divorce, name change, benefits application, school or passport process, or remarriage after divorce. Use the office that owns the original record. Certified marriage records come from the County Clerk or, for eligible date ranges, the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics. Certified divorce decrees come from the Circuit Court Clerk because divorce is a Family Court case.

For state-level requests, the Office of Vital Statistics states that marriage and divorce records from June 1958 to present are within its marriage and divorce certificate program. For marriage before June 1958, call the county clerk where the license was issued. For divorce before June 1958, call the circuit court clerk where the decree was granted. The state office also states that it cannot verify records or perform genealogy research without a completed application and required fee.

Kentucky Vital Records Office

Kentucky's state vital-records channel is a copy source, not the local filing office. It is useful for Bullitt County marriage and divorce certificates in the state-held date range, while the County Clerk and Circuit Court Clerk remain the best first calls for local record questions, older records, and certified court decrees. Keep the record type clear before ordering: a marriage certificate proves a license was recorded, while a divorce decree is a court order ending a marriage.
