What proof do I need to get married in NC?

Question

If I don't have my social security card or W2 forms, what can I use to get married by the justice of peace?

Answer 1

Start with getting a marriage license
Step One You can apply for a NC marriage license at any office of the county clerk, often located in the probate court or circuit court in each of the 100 counties of North Carolina.

2 Step Two Have the money ready. The cost of a marriage license is $50 and only cash is accepted for payment.

3 Step Three If you have been previously married or widowed, you will need the date of the divorce or death.

4 Step Four If you have been previously married or widowed, you will need the date of the divorce or death. If you were widowed or divorced in the last 60 days you will need to supply divorce papers or a death certificate.

5 Step Five Make sure you satisfy the state’s age requirements. In North Carolina, both parties must be at least 18 years old to marry without parental consent. You may be asked to show a copy of your birth certificate.

THe clerk of court can help you find someone to perform a civil service

You need something that has your SSN. A pay-stub will do. See http://marriage.about.com/cs/marriagelicenses/p/northcarolina.htm
