Logan County Marriage License
Marriage licenses in Logan County are issued by the Logan County Clerk, not by the Circuit Court Clerk. The County Clerk is at 229 West 3rd Street, Russellville, KY 42276, and the main office phone is 270-726-6061. The clerk's office posts weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The separate Saturday hours posted by the office are for vehicle transactions, so marriage applicants should verify license service before planning a Saturday visit.
Both applicants must apply together. The clerk page lists accepted identification as a driver's license, government-issued picture ID, original birth certificate, passport, or Social Security card. Kentucky has no waiting period, blood test, or physical exam requirement for a Logan County marriage license. The license is valid for 30 days, counting the day it is issued, and it may be used anywhere in Kentucky. It cannot be used outside Kentucky.
The Logan County Clerk marriage license page shows the local license requirements and fee.
That clerk page is the strongest local source for license eligibility, payment options, and the 30-day Kentucky validity rule.
Apply for Logan County Marriage Records
The marriage license process is short when both people arrive with the required facts. Applicants should be ready to give parent names with correct spellings, current marital status, number of prior marriages, and the planned date of marriage. Kentucky does not register ministers for marriage ceremonies, and the clerk page says there are no Kentucky residency or licensing requirements for ministers or priests who perform ceremonies in the state.
- Contact or visit the Logan County Clerk to confirm current marriage license service hours.
- Both applicants appear together with accepted identification and the required personal and family information.
- Complete the sworn license application before the County Clerk issuing the license.
- Pay the posted marriage license fee by one of the clerk's accepted payment methods.
- Use the license within 30 days in Kentucky, with an authorized officiant and at least two witnesses besides the parties and officiant.
Minor marriage rules should be checked directly with the County Clerk before anyone relies on a web summary. The posted Logan County Clerk text includes minor-license instructions, but this is a high-stakes area of law and the clerk should confirm the current process.
Logan County Marriage Application Fields
The Logan County Clerk's marriage application information is more detailed than a simple name-and-date form. It asks for identity facts, family facts, current legal status, and ceremony information. The required information helps the clerk create a Kentucky license and certificate record that can later be searched, copied, or certified.

| Applicant names and addresses | Yes | Both parties must be present. |
| Date of birth and current age | Yes | Used to confirm age and identity. |

Logan County Marriage Fees
The researched local fee is the marriage license fee. The Logan County Clerk page also lists accepted payment methods. Do not treat unsupported marriage-copy amounts as verified Logan County fees, because the clerk page contains a source-quality defect in the copy-return section.
| Item | Amount or rule |
|---|---|
| Marriage license | $60 |
| Accepted payment methods | Cash, certified check, cashier's check, money order, personal check, Visa, Discover, AMEX, or MasterCard |
| Certified marriage copy | Verify directly with Logan County Clerk before relying on the posted copy text |
| Divorce decree copy | Request through the Circuit Court Clerk; researched file did not provide a local copy amount |
| State vital certificate | Use Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics instructions for current certificate cost and processing |
Note: The marriage license fee is local and researched; copy fees were not safely confirmed from the Logan County Clerk page.
Logan County Source Warning
The Logan County Clerk marriage page appears to include copied text from another Kentucky county in a return-license and copy-by-mail subsection. That text refers to Warsaw and Gallatin County addresses. Those lines should not be used as Logan County facts for certified copies, mailing addresses, or copy fees. For Logan County marriage records, rely on the verified Logan County Clerk address, phone number, and the local license instructions.
The Logan County Clerk miscellaneous records page is another local clerk source tied to marriage license and marital agreement recording details.
This separate clerk records page is useful for local recording context, but exact certificate-copy handling should still be verified with the County Clerk.
Logan County Divorce Records
Divorce is not a County Clerk license record. A divorce or dissolution case is a Circuit Court or Family Court matter in Kentucky, and the case file or decree is requested through the Logan County Circuit Court Clerk. For court copies, start with the Circuit Court Clerk at the Logan County Court of Justice, 329 W. 4th Street, Russellville, KY 42276, phone 270-726-2424. Divorce case files can include petitions, service papers, property and debt orders, custody terms, support orders, hearing entries, and the final decree.
Some family-related material is not open like a routine civil file. Adoption, juvenile, dependency, termination of parental rights, protected-address data, and child-sensitive filings may be sealed or redacted. For the broader court-file path, the Logan County Circuit Court Clerk page covers case-record requests and older-file routing.
For divorce forms, Kentucky Court of Justice provides a legal forms library and a Self-Help Portal with guided interviews for some uncontested matters. The clerk can accept filings and provide records access, but the clerk cannot give legal advice about which forms to file.
Kentucky Marriage Divorce Certificates
The Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics marriage and divorce page is the statewide certificate route for marriage and divorce records from June 1958 to the present. For records before June 1958, CHFS directs users back to the county clerk where the marriage license was issued or the circuit court clerk where the divorce decree was granted.
The state certificate route is different from the local case file route: OVS issues vital certificates, while the Circuit Court Clerk handles the Logan County divorce court file.

The OVS divorce channel also connects to the VS-300 divorce or annulment form, which is used to generate and print certificate of divorce or annulment information.
