Where we have data, and where we don't.
Every number on this page is counted from the filings in our own database — no estimates, no projections, nothing rounded up. A county that stops reporting stays on this list with a red flag, because a county that quietly disappeared would read to you as “nobody got married there.” A county that was read on time and had nothing new to give us shows green and says so; zero is not an error.
1 states reporting · 19 not currently reporting (3 of those hold nothing newer than a year) · 20 states in total. Newest filing anywhere in the dataset: Oct 30, 2026. Counts as of Nov 2, 2026.
How we decide a county is fresh, aging or stale
The flag is computed from one thing: how many days old the newest filing we actually hold for that county is. It is never computed from whether an ingest job finished successfully. A monitor that watched job exit codes once stayed silent while a whole state went two months without a filing, which is why we measure the data instead of the machinery.
No clerk publishes a schedule we can read, so the gap we expect from each county is the one its own volume implies — a county filing 200 licenses a month should never go a week without one, a county filing two a month legitimately can:
- 30+ filings in 30 days (files daily) → we expect one within 4 days
- 4+ filings in 30 days (files weekly) → we expect one within 10 days
- 1+ filings in 30 days (files occasionally) → we expect one within 21 days
- no filings in 30 days → we expect one within 30 days
Inside that gap is green. Past the gap but with filings inside the last 30 days is amber. Past 30 days with nothing is red. Both inputs — the 30-day count and the newest filing date — are printed on every row, so you can redo the arithmetic yourself.
Reporting now · 1 states
At least one county in each of these states has filed within the last 7 days. Individual counties inside a reporting state can still be aging or stale — they stay on this list with their real status.
Archive & not currently reporting · 19 states
Nothing in these states has been filed in the last 7 days, so none of them is coverage you can work today. We split them honestly: Stopped reporting means the state was current recently and has gone quiet — a fault on our side of the pipe, not a reason to hide it. Archive only means the newest filing we hold is more than a year old; in one state it is from 1961. Archive depth is not coverage and we will not present it as coverage. Do not subscribe expecting new leads from this list.
Source: marriage license applications published as public record by county clerks. “Newest filing” is the most recent application date we hold for that county — not the time our job last ran. A marriage license filing tells you a couple applied for a license on that date. It does not tell you what they intend to buy, and we do not claim otherwise. We hold no phone numbers.
