Trimble County Marriage License Office

Marriage licenses are issued by the Trimble County Clerk, not the Circuit Court Clerk. The County Clerk's official site lists marriage licenses as one of its core services, along with recordings, motor vehicle work, elections, and delinquent tax bill duties. The office is at P.O. Box 262, 30 Highway 42 East, Bedford, KY 40006. The phone number is 502-255-7174, fax is 502-255-7045, and the published email is sarah.cull@ky.gov. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

The marriage-license process is office-based. The clerk page says the officiant returns the signed marriage application after the ceremony. The County Clerk files it and issues the marriage license to the couple. For name changes, the clerk directs the spouse to use the marriage license with the Social Security Administration first, then update the driver's license after clearance. The clerk page also says Kentucky currently does not have a minister registration process for performing ceremonies.

The official Trimble County Clerk marriage license page gives the local copy fees and special notes for minister recognition, minor-license issues, and post-ceremony return. The source did not locate the current license issuance fee, so the safe path is to confirm the fee with the clerk before visiting.

Trimble County Marriage Record Fields

The research did not capture a separate downloadable application form, but the County Clerk marriage page identifies several documents and conditions that may matter, especially for minor-license issues. The field inventory below stays within the local source findings and avoids adding unstated application fields.

Note: Marriage-age rules can change, so any minor-license issue should be confirmed directly with the Trimble County Clerk before relying on older page wording.

Trimble County Marriage Fees

The County Clerk's marriage page gives copy fees, while the recording-fee page gives a broader look at clerk charges. The Trimble County Clerk recording-fee page is a manifest source and helps show that the County Clerk, not the Circuit Court Clerk, handles many recorded county documents.

Recording fees are not the same as court filing fees, but they help distinguish county clerk records from court case records.

Look Up Trimble County Marriage Records

No official online marriage-record search portal specific to Trimble County was found. The County Clerk records page points land records to eCCLIX, but the marriage-license page tells users to contact the office for marriage questions and copy requests. That means a marriage-record search should begin with the County Clerk by phone, in person, mail, fax, or email if the clerk accepts the request route for the specific record.

For written County Clerk open-record requests, the clerk policy says requests should be submitted on the Open Records Request Form and may be hand-delivered, mailed, faxed, or emailed. A determination is made within five working days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. Fees and postage may need to be paid in advance. The successful manifest image from the Trimble County Clerk delinquent taxes page is not a marriage source, but it reinforces the County Clerk's role as a separate noncourt records office.

County Clerk services vary by record type, so marriage-copy requests should be directed to the clerk rather than court case search.

Find Trimble County Divorce Records

Divorce is a Circuit Court and Family Court matter in Kentucky. The Circuit Court jurisdiction source includes divorces, while Family Court handles dissolution of marriage, spousal support, equitable distribution, child custody, support, and visitation. In Trimble County, Family Court sessions are listed for first and third Wednesday, with DNA, Civil Motion Hour, EPO/DVO, status, and paternity settings.

To search for a divorce case, use KYeCourts public records, the KCOJ docket search, or the Trimble County Circuit Court Clerk. Certified case documents start with the Circuit Court Clerk because the clerk holds the official court record. Older divorce case files may route to the State Records Center or Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, but the county clerk's office that handled the case must supply case and locator numbers for many older-record requests.

Trimble County Divorce Filing Path

A divorce record starts as a court case, not as a County Clerk license record. The court file may include petition, service, motions, orders, hearing notices, decree, and related family orders. Access can be limited when the record includes protected personal information, domestic violence material, minor information, sealed orders, or other restricted content.

1. Determine whether the case belongs in Trimble County Circuit or Family Court.
2. Prepare the petition and related family forms, using KCOJ legal forms if helpful.
3. File with the Trimble County Circuit Court Clerk at the courthouse.
4. Pay the required filing fee or request a fee waiver if eligible.
5. Serve the other party under court rules.
6. Attend Family Court or Circuit Court hearings as scheduled.
7. Obtain entered orders or the decree from the Circuit Court Clerk.
