A marriage license!

*Apply during the week to your county’s clerk office before your wedding day

OR

*Do it all together, i.e book a 60 minute appointment on your actual wedding day and you can apply the same day + get married

A MARRIAGE LICENSE:

*Within 90 days of buying your marriage license, say “i do” . As long as it’s within state lines, you’re golden.

*A county clerk, priest, rabbi, minister, judge or civil marriage commissioner will make it official by signing the license.

MAKING IT OFFICIAL:

You will need to bring your marriage license back to the county it was issued in so they can record it and make it official! After that, you can request a copy.
