💍 How do I find a marriage record in Pima? ▼

Marriage records in Pima County are held by the Pima County Clerk of the Superior Court — not the County Recorder, not the Health Department. Address: 110 W Congress St, First Floor, Tucson AZ 85701-1317; phone (520) 724-3240 (records line); main court line (520) 724-3200. Online search at https://www.sc.pima.gov or via the statewide Arizona Judicial Branch portal at https://apps.azcourts.gov/publicaccess/caselookup.aspx (pick Pima County). Marriage license fee (apply in person at the Clerk): $83, effective at most Arizona counties under A.R.S. § 12-284. Certified copy of an existing marriage license: $30 for the first copy, $0.50 each additional. Locations issuing licenses in Pima: the main Clerk's office downtown, plus Ajo Justice Court and Green Valley Justice Court. Eligibility: Arizona marriage records are public; anyone can request a copy with a government photo ID. Arizona does NOT issue marriage records through the Department of Health Services — the Clerk-issued copy IS the legal document. For an apostille (international use), get the certified copy from the Clerk first, then take it to the Arizona Secretary of State at 1700 W Washington St, Phoenix.

🚔 Where do recent arrests show up in Arizona? ▼

🧹 What's the process to clear a criminal record in Arizona? ▼

Arizona offers three different criminal-record relief mechanisms — each does something different. (1) Set Aside (A.R.S. § 13-905) — the longest-standing tool. Once you've completed all conditions of sentence (including probation, fines, restitution), you can petition the original sentencing court for a Set Aside. If granted, the judgment of guilt is set aside, the complaint/information/indictment is dismissed, and you're released from all penalties — but the underlying record remains visible. Useful for employment background checks because the disposition shows 'set aside.' Most misdemeanors and many felonies qualify; serious offenses (DUI with injury, sex offenses against minors, dangerous offenses) are excluded by statute. (2) Sealing (A.R.S. § 13-911) — Arizona's newer (effective 2023) tool. Petition the court to seal ALL case records of the arrest, conviction, and sentence. If granted, the records are not visible to the public, employers, or background-check vendors (with narrow exceptions for law enforcement and licensing boards). Eligibility runs on a wait period after sentence completion: 2 years for Class 2/3 misdemeanors, 3 years for Class 1 misdemeanors, 5 years for Class 4/5/6 felonies, 10 years for Class 2/3 felonies. (3) Expungement under the same § 13-911 — actually vacates marijuana convictions and a few others (including possession under 2.5 oz). Vacated = treated as if never happened. Petitions are filed at the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the case originated; AZ Judicial Branch Self-Help Center at https://www.azcourts.gov/selfservicecenter/Criminal-Law/Sealing-records/Completing-the-Petition has the petition forms (Packets 13B, 14, 15). Filing fee for sealing/set-aside: $0 in many cases (waiver under § 13-911(N)) or $32 standard motion fee. Always work with an attorney — eligibility is fact-specific.

Eligibility (A.R.S. § 36-342): spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, legal representative, person with documented direct interest. ID required.
