Marriage records in Oregon are not public records and are only available to parties themselves, certain family members, and government agencies. The same is true for divorce records. Records that are more than 50 years old are available to the public. Reasons for needing a marriage record include insurance purposes and documenting name changes.

A divorce decree shows the specific terms of a divorce. A copy is required to help enforce court decisions about spousal support, custody and visitation, child support, and the division of a couple’s debts and assets. A divorce certificate may be needed for name changes or remarriage.
