Marriage License Information

Marriage license applications are accepted Monday through Friday, by appointment only. Both applicants must be present at the same time, and must provide an I.D. The applicants will be required to complete and sign a marriage application, and an application supplement report.

If either applicant had a previous marriage, documentation must be submitted at the time of application, which indicates how the previous marriage was dissolved.
