Casey County Marriage License Office
Marriage licenses in Casey County are County Clerk business, not Circuit Court Clerk business. The official County Clerk page identifies County Clerk Casey Davis at 625 Campbellsville St, Liberty, KY 42539, phone 606-787-6471, email casey.davis@ky.gov, with office hours Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Marriage license records should be requested there unless the issue is part of a divorce or other court case.
The official Casey County Clerk marriage-license page says both applicants must appear together, sign and swear to the application before the issuing clerk, and use the license within Kentucky. It states there is no waiting period and no blood test, and the license is valid for 30 days from issuance. The page also links an online marriage application path, but applicants still print the completed application and use the appointment request process before appearing.

That local County Clerk source controls the marriage-license process, so it should be checked before visiting or using a pre-application.
Apply for Casey County Marriage License
The County Clerk process is built around a sworn application. The online path can save time, but it does not remove the in-person requirement.

- Print the completed application before the office visit.

- Both applicants appear together at the Casey County Clerk's office.
- Both applicants sign and swear to the application before the clerk.

Casey County Marriage Application Fields
The official County Clerk marriage-license page lists the application data that applicants provide. These fields help the clerk prepare the license and create the local marriage record. Because both applicants must swear to the application, the information should be checked for spelling, dates, prior-marriage status, and ceremony date before signing.

Casey County Marriage Divorce Fees
Some fees were not located in the official research text, so the fee schedule below separates verified amounts from amounts that must be confirmed with the current custodian. The County Clerk page states the marriage license fee is non-refundable, but the exact amount was not extracted. Divorce filing and certified divorce decree copy fees should be verified with the Circuit Court Clerk because civil filing fees were time-sensitive in the KYeCourts notice.
| Item | Amount | Where to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Marriage license | Non-refundable, exact amount not extracted | Casey County Clerk, 606-787-6471 |
| Certified marriage copy | Not located in research | Casey County Clerk or Vital Statistics |
| Divorce filing | Not located in research | Circuit Court Clerk |
| Certified divorce decree copy | Not located in research | Circuit Court Clerk |
| State certificate fee | Verify current amount | Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics |
Search Casey County Marriage Records
County clerk records in Casey County use eCCLIX/CCLIX for 1980-current documents, with the County Clerk office as the fallback for earlier records. The Casey County Clerk records page says eCCLIX is the Internet version of CCLIX and lets users view or print documents filed by participating Kentucky county clerk offices. For Casey County documents before 1980, the official fallback is to call 606-787-6471.
Marriage records may also be requested from the local County Clerk directly when eCCLIX does not expose the needed record, when a certified copy is needed, or when the record predates the online range. County clerk records are separate from court case records. A marriage license is not a divorce case, and eCCLIX is not the source for a divorce decree.
Note: County Clerk eCCLIX access is useful for county clerk records, but court divorce files start with the Circuit Court Clerk.
Find Casey County Divorce Records
Divorce cases in Casey County are Circuit or Family Court matters. KCOJ says Circuit Court hears divorces, and Family Court is a Circuit Court division that handles dissolution of marriage, spousal support, equitable distribution, child custody, support, visitation, paternity, domestic violence, and related family issues where that division applies. The local request starts with the Office of Circuit Court Clerk at the Casey County Judicial Center.
The request should identify the parties, approximate filing year, case number if known, and the document needed. Ask whether the file is available at the clerk office or stored elsewhere. If an older file is at a records facility, the clerk must provide case and file locator numbers before the KDLA State Records Center request process can be used. A divorce certificate or verification from Vital Statistics is a different product from the complete court file.

That court source supports the local rule that divorce files belong with the Circuit Court Clerk, not the County Clerk.
Restricted Casey County Divorce Records
Basic divorce case records may be public unless sealed, but family records can contain protected material. Child custody, minor information, domestic violence details, adoption references, protected addresses, and sensitive financial or health information may be redacted or restricted. Juvenile and adoption confidentiality rules should not be treated as ordinary public lookup material.

Family Court context explains why a public divorce case may still have sealed, redacted, or confidential portions.
Kentucky Vital Statistics Certificates
The Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics is the state certificate channel for birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificate products. It can be useful when a person needs a certificate or verification rather than the full county clerk or court file. The state certificate path should not be confused with certified court copies of a divorce decree or County Clerk copies of a marriage license record.

Use the state vital-records office for certificate channels, while using the County Clerk for local marriage records and the Circuit Court Clerk for divorce case files.
