    There is no question that marriage is something that would have effects that would be binding upon the whole world, and therein lies the reason why marriage records like Okaloosa County Marriage Records are some of the most requested for records from the government, after all, as the official records of the government, these records are the best pieces of evidence that one could present in order to prove the fact of the marriage, something that is often necessary where one of the parties to the marriage would like to claim some of the rights that are attached upon the person of the one making the claim by reason of the fact of the marriage.There are several rights that are attached upon the person by reason of the fact of the marriage, but perhaps the most often cited right would be the right to be mutual heirs of the spouses or the right to live together. As well as some rights, however, there are also certain limitations as well as obligations that are attached upon the person of the married couple by reason of the fact of the marriage, and this would include the obligation to not get married to another person while the first marriage is still in existence. It is not accurate to say that the married person could not get married again, it is just that the choices of the married couple as to who he or she could marry is limited to just one person, who would be the spouse of the person.Marriage records are the official records of the government in regards to the fact of the marriage, and because that is the case, the contents of these records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. This means that there is no obligation on the part of the party presenting the records from having to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, but note that there is still the need to prove that the records were obtained from the proper sources as only such records could be given the presumption of regularity. It must also be noted that the presumption of regularity is not absolute and could still be overturned through the use of competent evidence.The official sources of the records in question could be found at both the local or county level and the national or state level, though most requests are made at the local level as there are fewer records here that would have to be checked. As for the method for making the request, it could either be through the mail or in person depending upon the place where the request would be made, and one must note that the procedures that would have to be followed would also have their own advantages and disadvantages that would have to be considered.Okaloosa County Marriage Licenses are also available online through the use of internet based archives. These are databases that are mostly privately owned, but the information that they could present would be practically the same as that which could be found from the official sources, though it must be noted that because they are not official sources, the information obtained through them could not be used for official proceedings.
