What Is the Process for Obtaining a Marriage License?
The license requirements vary widely from state to state and often from county to county; you should contact your county or town clerk's office for the specific requirements in your area. When speaking with an official, be sure to cover the following questions:
- Do you have to apply for the license in person and together?
- Who has to sign the license?
- What are the residency requirements?
- What is the fee and what are acceptable forms of payment?
- What sort of identification or proof of age must you provide?
- Must you provide proof of death or divorce?
- Are blood tests required?
