Broken Arrow Marriage Records Lookup
Broken Arrow marriage records are handled by the Tulsa County Court Clerk. What makes Broken Arrow unique is that it has a satellite office of the Tulsa County clerk right in town, so you do not have to drive downtown to get a marriage license. You can search Broken Arrow marriage records through the statewide OSCN system at no cost. This page explains how to use the local satellite office, what the fees are, and how to find or request copies of marriage records filed in Broken Arrow or anywhere in Tulsa County.
Broken Arrow Marriage Records Overview
Broken Arrow Satellite Court Clerk Office
The Tulsa County Court Clerk runs a satellite office in Broken Arrow that handles marriage licenses. The department head is Sundy Wiley. Hours run Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, with applications accepted until 4:30pm. The big perk is Saturday hours from 9am to 1pm. That is something the main Tulsa courthouse does not offer. Call (918) 596-5478 for any questions.
One thing to know before you go: the Broken Arrow satellite only takes credit or debit cards. No cash. No checks. That catches some people off guard, so plan ahead. Both people must appear in person with valid photo ID. A driver's license, passport, or military ID all work. The process is the same as the main Tulsa office. Both people sign the application, pay the fee, and walk out with the license in hand.
Saturday hours make the Broken Arrow office popular with working couples who cannot get away during the week. It tends to be busiest on Saturday mornings, so arriving early is a good idea.
Broken Arrow Marriage License Fees
The marriage license fee is $50 at the Broken Arrow satellite office. Same rate as every county in Oklahoma. If you bring an original premarital counseling certificate with at least four hours of counseling, the fee drops to $5 under 43 O.S. 5.1. Must be the original certificate, not a copy.
Copies of existing Broken Arrow marriage records follow the Tulsa County fee schedule. A search costs $5. Certified copies run $1.50 each after that. You can get copies at the Broken Arrow satellite or the main Tulsa County office downtown at 500 South Denver Ave., Room 200. Credit or debit only at the satellite. The main office takes cash or credit.
Search Broken Arrow Marriage Records Online
The OSCN case search lets you look up Broken Arrow marriage records for free. Select "Tulsa" as the county since Broken Arrow is in Tulsa County. Pick "Marriage License" from the case type list. Enter a last name and search. You can refine by adding first names or a date range. No login or account needed.
Results show both names, the case number, and the filing date. If a record has "Document Available" next to it, you can pull up the PDF on screen. OSCN will not show you the actual certificate, who the witnesses were, or who performed the ceremony. For that, you need the physical file from the clerk. Tulsa County was the first to put its records on OSCN back in 1999, so the digital archive goes back further than most.
The On Demand Court Records site has the same Tulsa County data in a different format. The OK2Explore health department portal can help cross-check names and dates if you are looking for a specific person's marriage record in the Broken Arrow area.
The Broken Arrow satellite office is part of the Tulsa County Court Clerk system.

Broken Arrow Marriage License Requirements
The rules at the Broken Arrow office match every other county location in Oklahoma. Under Title 43, both people must be at least 18 to apply on their own. Ages 16 to 17 need a parent or guardian present to sign, plus a certified birth certificate. Under 16 takes a court order. No blood test. No residency rule. The ceremony must happen in Oklahoma within 10 days of getting the license.
After the wedding, the officiant and two witnesses aged 18 or older sign the completed document. The signed license must come back to the Tulsa County clerk within 5 days. That returned document becomes the official marriage record. Ministers do not need to pre-register their credentials under Title 43, Section 7. If either person got divorced in Oklahoma within the last six months, they cannot remarry anyone other than their former spouse during that period.
Note: The Broken Arrow satellite office accepts credit and debit cards only. Bring a card, not cash, when you apply for a license.
