What do I do with my marriage license?
You are responsible for delivering your marriage license to the person who is officiating at your marriage. This person must complete the license, have two witnesses sign it, and return it to the Recorder's Office within 15 days after the wedding so that it can be recorded. It then remains on file permanently in the Recorder's Office.
Who can conduct my wedding ceremony?
Marriages can be performed by a minister in good standing with any church or synagogue in Missouri. While any judge (including a municipal judge) may perform marriages, you will need to contact the Circuit Clerk for availability. There are no justices of the peace in Missouri.

Recording a document?
How long does it take to get my recorded document back?
Documents will be returned by mail the following business day. You must provide a self-addressed stamped envelope. MAILING ADDRESS: PO BOX 428, FORSYTH, MO, 65653
How can I find out if there is a lien on my property?
The responsibility of the Recorder's Office is only to record documents that meet recording requirements, not to do individual record searches. You may search the records yourself, and we will be happy to assist you. However, be aware that this office is not the only office where liens are filed.
How can I find out if there are easements on my property?
Most easements are shown on the plat on a recorded subdivision. They may also be shown on your deed. You may also search the indexes in the Recorder's Office.
How do I change the name on my deed?
A new document must be prepared if you wish to make any changes to ownership on property. An attorney may assist you. The Recorder's Office only records these documents; it does not prepare them.
Can I find a deed if I only have the address?
We index records by name. You will need to contact the Assessor's Office for the name linked to that property.
Can I find the selling price on a piece of property at the Recorder's office?
No. The selling price of real estate is not required on recorded deeds.
