Greer County has maintained marriage records since 1907, when Oklahoma became a state. Before that, this area had a unique history. Greer County was once claimed by both Texas and Oklahoma Territory. The U.S. Supreme Court settled the boundary dispute in 1896, placing the area firmly in Oklahoma Territory. As a result, some very early records from this area may be split between Texas and Oklahoma archives. The Oklahoma Historical Society holds territorial-era records on microfilm at their Research Center in Oklahoma City.

Marriage Rules and Process in Greer County
The license is valid 10 days from the date it is issued. Hold the ceremony within that window. After the wedding, the officiant and two witnesses aged 18 or older sign the license. Return it to the Greer County Court Clerk within 5 days. That signed, returned document is the permanent marriage record on file.
Ministers no longer need to pre-register credentials with the court. Title 43, Section 7 of Oklahoma Statutes changed this rule on November 1, 2022. The person performing the ceremony just signs the certificate. Adults face no waiting period. Under 18 applicants must wait 72 hours unless a judge waives the period. If you were divorced in Oklahoma within the past six months, you can only marry your former spouse. This applies to Oklahoma divorces only.
Note: The 10-day validity window is strict; if it passes without a ceremony, you must pay for a new license at the full fee.
