Steps to Obtaining a Marriage License



For ages 18 and up, a marriage license may be obtained at the Probate Court between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Sixteen-and seventeen-year old applicants may receive a license if both parents appear, present identification and consent in writing to the marriage. Both the bride and the groom must appear in person for the license. A marriage license cannot, by law, be issued to anyone under the age of 16 with or without parental consent, unless there is a pregnancy verified by a licensed physician.

Items to be brought to the Probate Judge's office when applying for a marriage license:

Proof of identity (driver's license or birth certificate)

Social Security numbers

A copy of the final decree of the last divorce, if applicable

The application process takes approximately 30 minutes.
