Corrections and Updates Policy
How marriage-license.org/ handles reported errors, broken official links, outdated office details, and updates to marriage license guides.
Our correction promise
Public office information can change. A county may move a marriage-license page, update a fee, change appointment rules, edit office hours, switch online vendors, close for holidays, or publish new instructions. Our corrections policy explains how visitors, offices, and readers can help us improve accuracy.
We treat correction requests seriously, especially when they involve an official link, office address, phone number, form, map, fee, eligibility note, waiting period, expiration rule, or certified-copy instruction.
What correction requests should include
Correction priority levels
| Priority | Examples | Action |
|---|---|---|
| High | Wrong official link, changed office, incorrect phone/address, legal-safety concern, privacy issue | Review as soon as possible and update if verified. |
| Medium | Fee change, appointment note, broken map, changed instructions, confusing screenshot | Check official source and revise where needed. |
| Normal | Grammar, clarity, layout, wording improvement, better step order | Review during editorial updates. |
| Not accepted | Unverifiable claim, private dispute, promotional request, non-official replacement link | May be rejected or ignored if it does not improve accuracy. |
Update workflow
Receive report
A visitor, editor or source-monitoring check flags a possible issue.
Verify against official source
We check the official page or official office information before changing the guide.
Edit the content
We update the affected section, link, warning, map note, or explanation.
Review the change
A human review checks whether the revised wording is clear and safe.
Continue monitoring
We may revisit related pages if the same office or state system affects multiple guides.
What we do not promise
We do not guarantee that every detail remains current every minute of every day. Government pages can change without notice. We also do not guarantee that an official office will accept documents, fees, applications, or requests exactly as a visitor expects. Final confirmation must come from the official clerk, court, recorder, vital records office, or other responsible agency.
