Once a couple has indicated to us that they wish to obtain a marriage license, we will determine they both have valid photo IDs with birth date and are over 18 years of age, have the $40.00 fee in cash or $42.50 if using a credit card, and are planning to be married within 90 days. There is a small application form to complete. We then verify the information they have provided on the application to the ID cards. The marriage license and certificate are then entered and printed on computer. After the couple has reviewed the license for accuracy, we will obtain and verify signatures. They will be briefed at that time on how the license must be completed at the time of their marriage.
The cost for a certified copy of marriage license after filing is $15.00.
