The courthouse is open for official business.  However, for your safety as well as ours, we ask that where practical, business be conducted via phone calls, video calls, email, or regular mail.

To minimize exposure, in-person probate, marriage applications, and research, are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!

We strongly encouraged the use of video conferencing for probate and marriage applications.  

Attention marriage applicants: If you are NOT a Cumberland County resident, your marriage application must be done by video conference.  

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR PAPERWORK AL LEAST FOUR WEEKS PRIOR TO THE WEDDING DATE TO ALLOW FOR PROCESSING.
