*NOTE* You must obtain your marriage license from the county you will be married in, regardless of where you live.
You need to apply together, in person, and bring the proper identification and payment (usually cash) with you. If you are divorced, you need to know the date or bring a copy of the divorce decree. Check with the County Courthouse for more information.
Bring the marriage license to the rehearsal (if you have one) or the wedding.
* The Officiant CAN NOT perform the ceremony without the license*
Important: The marriage license is not what makes you legally married. It is a license to marry.
It is not valid until signed by clergy or a court magistrate and returned to the county clerk.
