Under Oregon law county marriage offices have primary responsibility for issuing and maintaining marriage licenses and certificates. Once filed at the local county marriage office, certificates are forwarded to the State Vital Records office to create a permanent statewide file.


All requests to change an Oregon marriage certificate must be approved by the county marriage office that issued the license.
