what do u need to get a marriage license?

Question

I live in NC and getting married soon. what all do i need to take to the court house to get a marriage license?

Answer 1

Congrats on your engagement! Here is what you need but I suggest you call your local court house just to confirm that the info is accurate:

ID Requirement: You must show proof of age in North Carolina. This can be accomplished by providing your driver's license, Military or State ID, passport or certified birth certificate.

You will also need to show proof of your Social Security number. This can be by a W-2 form, payroll stub, or any official document with your Social Security number on it.


Residency Requirement: You do not have to be a resident of
North Carolina.

Previous Marriages: If previously married, the date of divorce or date of spouse's death must be supplied. If the divorce was within 60 days, a signed copy of the divorce decree will need to be shown.

Covenant Marriage Option: No.

Waiting Period: North Carolina does not have a waiting period

Fees: $50 - cash only. This can change, so make sure to check with the County Clerk's office.

Other Tests: North Carolina does not require you to have any blood tests or physical exams.

Answer 3

This is what you need where I live.
I suggest you call your county and get the specifics; as they do vary from county to county. A county over, no witnesses are required. Suppose to be for all of Ohio; guess we just haven't caught up yet.

Cost: $40 cash only
** No waiting period-- license issued immediately
** License good for 60 days
** No blood test or physical exam required
** Both must apply in person.
** Each needs a picture ID. This can be a State ID, a valid
driver's license, a passport, or a visa.
** If divorced, the divorce decree must be brought at the
time of applying. In the case of multiple divorces, the last
decree is all that's needed.

** Widow (er) does not need spouse's death certificate.
** If you are an Ohio resident, you must apply in the
county in which you reside. This allows you to be married
anywhere in Ohio.
** If you are not an Ohio resident, you must apply to the
county in which you plan to be married.
** You must have two (2) witnesses, 21 or older, for the
marriage

Answer 4

Call your courthouse for exact information--don't look up on the web, actually call. Information can be outdated or not right. We looked on the web and found information ranging from $45 to $80--all in the same state. It also said we needed our driver's license and birth certificate. We didn't. And we just have to KNOW our Social Security #.

1) Cash only--most places won't take credit and check

2) Driver's License--some require your certified birth certificate too.

3) Social Security card--again, depends on your state

4) If you've been divorced or widowed, proof of the divorce/death.

5) You willl need to read the rules and regulations of your state. Can you be cousins, etc.

6) Doctor's phsyical--some require this. We JUST recieved our license 2 weeks ago from Missouri, and it didn't require one.

We paid: $54, it took 3 days to process, and it lasts for 30 days. We had to verify that we were not cousins (not allowed in MO), and we had to read the rules and regulations. We are both over 18 (by a few years :-). All we had to bring was a driver's license.

Answer 5

I know here in South Carolina, my husband and I both had to be present. We each had to have our photo IDS, and either a Social Security card or something with our number on it (a check stub, income tax returns, etc.), and the money (I think it's about 35 dollars.) We filled out the paperwork, signed our names, and 24 hours later, picked up our marriage license.

Answer 6

In most states, all you need is a picture ID (that has your date of birth on it). If your ID doesn't have your address on it, also bring proof of address and it doesn't hurt to have a social security card with you. If either of you have been married before, you need to bring proof that the previous marriage has been annulled or ended through divorce.

Answer 7

Call the county in which you wish to be married.

You can find the county clerk's office at switchboard.com.

Answer 8

Why don't you CALL the county offices and ask THEM!

Answer 9

Answer 10

birth certificates.
