searches for any additional year after the second year cost an additional 50 cents each. For example a

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES. For
instance, if you require a marriage certificate for use in a foreign jurisdiction (including obtaining a
passport from a US-based foreign consulate) you need an extended form which costs $35 for the
initial copy and $30 for any additional copies. For most domestic
purposes, you will need a short
form which costs $15 for the initial copy and $10 for any additional copies.
If
you are
unsure of the
form of marriage certificate you need, please call 311 or (212) NEW YORK

outside of New York.
If
you
do not specify the form you desire you will be sent a short form.
