Frequently Asked Questions
Are Mississippi marriage records public?▼
Marriage records in Mississippi are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order.
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Mississippi if I wasn't convicted?▼
In Mississippi, an arrest stays on your record indefinitely unless you petition the court to seal or expunge it, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. Mississippi's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety – Criminal Information Center.
Are Mississippi criminal records public?▼
Mostly yes. Mississippi's public-records law makes adult arrests, court filings, and conviction histories accessible to anyone unless a specific statutory exemption applies. Juvenile cases, sealed records, and expunged offenses are generally excluded by statute.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Mississippi?▼
Yes. Search the Circuit Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Mississippi counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
