Mail-In/Online Only Requests for Marriage and Divorce
To get a certified copy of a marriage or divorce that occurred in South Carolina, submit the request by mail or online. In-person and drop-off services for these requests are temporarily unavailable. See mail-in and online directions for a Marriage Certificate or Divorce Report.
In-Person Amendment Requests at Regional Offices
Beginning Nov. 17, 2025, the Richland County office (formally known as the State Office) will no longer process same-day amendment requests. Most in-person amendment requests submitted at regional offices, including the Richland County office, will be completed within 1–2 business days once reviewed by the amendment team in the central office. Court ordered amendments may take up to 2 weeks to allow for proper legal review and processing.
