Boyle County Marriage Records
Marriage licenses in Boyle County are issued by the Boyle County Clerk, not the Circuit Court Clerk. The County Clerk is Casey McCoy, and the office is in Room 123 at 321 W. Main, Danville, KY 40422. The published office phone is 859-238-1110, fax is 859-238-1114, and email is casey.mccoy@ky.gov. Office hours are Monday 8:30 to 5:00 and Tuesday through Friday 8:30 to 4:00.
Divorce is different. Divorce case files are court records in Circuit or Family Court and are handled through the Circuit Court Clerk and Kentucky Court of Justice channels. That split matters because a marriage license request, a certified marriage copy, a divorce docket search, and a divorce decree request may go to different counters even though the offices are in the same courthouse.

Boyle Marriage Divorce Fees
The only marriage or divorce amount captured in the official Boyle County research is the County Clerk marriage license fee. Divorce filing fees and certified divorce decree copy fees were not located in the official Boyle source during research, so those amounts should be confirmed with the Circuit Court Clerk before filing or ordering. For other recorded county instruments, the County Clerk's records page has a separate recording fee table, but those land and will fees are not divorce filing fees.
| Item | Amount | Office |
|---|---|---|
| Marriage license | $60.00 | Boyle County Clerk |
| Certified marriage copy | Not captured in research | Confirm with Boyle County Clerk |
| Divorce filing | Not located in official Boyle source | Confirm with Circuit Court Clerk |
| Certified divorce decree copy | Not captured in research | Confirm with Circuit Court Clerk or state vital records channel when applicable |
Do not rely on a third-party fee table for current Boyle County marriage or divorce costs. The safest fee source is the office that will issue the license, file the case, or certify the copy.
Lookup Boyle County Marriage Records
For recent Boyle County marriage records, start with the County Clerk. The Clerk's records page also points users to County Clerk records and eCCLIX, but the research does not claim that every marriage record is complete online. The Clerk records room phone is 859-238-1112, which is useful when the main office line is not the best route for a record search.
Marriage access channels include in-person application at the County Clerk, County Clerk records channels for locally held marriage or related records, certified copy requests from the County Clerk when the local record is held there, and state vital records channels where a statewide certified vital record is the correct document. Historical and genealogy searches may use County Clerk records and state archives, but online completeness should not be assumed without confirmation from the Clerk.
- Use applicant names as they appeared on the license.
- Provide an approximate marriage date or date range if known.
- Ask whether the office holds the certified copy needed for the purpose.
- Use the records room number for record-search questions when appropriate.
- Confirm whether the request should be handled in person, by mail, or through an open-records form.
Find Boyle County Divorce Records
Divorce is a court case, not a County Clerk record. Boyle County divorce case files are handled through Circuit or Family Court records served by the Circuit Court Clerk. For Circuit or Family case questions, use the Circuit line at 859-239-7442. Court-date information may be searched through the Kentucky Court of Justice docket portal, and public case search may be available through KYeCourts / CourtNet guest access.
Kentucky Court of Justice divorce guidance is the statewide procedural source, and KRS Chapter 403 governs divorce, custody, and domestic relations. A divorce record may include the petition, docket entries, temporary orders, service records, hearings, final decree, and later orders. Public access can be partial. Child information, financial account numbers, protective details, domestic violence details, sealed filings, and adoption or juvenile-related material may be restricted.
The screenshot source for KRS Chapter 403 divorce and domestic relations statutes supports the Boyle County divorce-record access limits.
Use the court record for the divorce case and the County Clerk record for the marriage license. Mixing the two offices can delay a certified copy request.
Boyle County Divorce Filing
Divorce filing follows Kentucky court procedure and is handled at the court clerk, not the County Clerk. The research supports a practical filing sequence but does not provide a local divorce filing fee. Parties should use Kentucky Court of Justice legal forms when applicable and confirm filing, service, fee, and hearing requirements with the Circuit Court Clerk.
- Confirm Kentucky residency and venue under KRS Chapter 403.
- Prepare the petition and required family-law forms from the Kentucky Court of Justice legal forms library.
- File with the Boyle Circuit Court Clerk at the courthouse.
- Pay the filing fee or ask about fee waiver options if indigent.
- Serve the other spouse as required.
- Address temporary orders, parenting, support, property, and debt issues.
- Attend hearings or submit agreed orders as required.
- Obtain the final decree and certified copies from the proper office.
Certified Boyle Divorce Copies
Certified copies are ordered from the office that holds and can certify the document. For a Boyle County marriage license or recorded marriage record, the County Clerk is the local starting point. For a divorce decree or court-file document, the Circuit Court Clerk is the local court starting point. State vital records channels may be relevant when the requested document is a statewide certified vital record rather than a local court-certified decree.
| Record Needed | Start With | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Marriage license application or recorded marriage record | Boyle County Clerk | The County Clerk issues marriage licenses and holds local marriage records. |
| Certified marriage copy | Boyle County Clerk | The Clerk can confirm local copy rules and fees. |
| Divorce docket or case file | Circuit Court Clerk / Kentucky Court of Justice | Divorce is a court case in Circuit or Family Court. |
| Certified divorce decree | Circuit Court Clerk or state vital records channel | The correct source depends on the document being requested. |
| Restricted family filing | Circuit Court Clerk | Access may require court review, redaction, or a sealing order check. |
Restricted Family Records
Marriage records are usually more straightforward than divorce and family case files, but all requests still depend on the record held by the office. Divorce and Family Court files may include information that is not public, especially where children, financial account data, domestic violence, sealed filings, adoption, juvenile dependency, or protected parties are involved. Kentucky court access and open-records principles do not override every confidentiality rule.
When a Boyle County divorce search shows only limited docket information, the missing detail may be sealed, confidential, not indexed online, or available only through a direct clerk request. A certified copy request should identify the case number, party names, approximate filing date, and the exact document needed. If the request involves child custody, support, or protective information, ask the clerk what public access is allowed.
Note: A divorce docket may be public in part while child, financial, protective, or sealed filings remain restricted.
