MARRIAGE LICENSE GUIDANCE

MARRIAGE LICENSE GUIDANCE

 **These are only guidelines.  Please consult your local license issuing agency for more information**


Please keep in mind that simply obtaining your marriage license does NOT mean that you are married.  Your marriage isn't legal until an officiant signs your marriage license.


  • You both MUST be present when applying for your marriage license. 
  • Both parties must have a valid form of ID in their possession (State issued license, Military ID, Passport, Etc) when applying for your marriage license. 
  • If either of you has been married before, you may need to furnish a divorce decree or death certificate. 
  • Non GA residents MUST obtain their marriage license in the county where the wedding will be held.   If we are doing only a marriage license signing in my office, you will have to obtain your marriage license from FULTON COUNTY if you are not GA residents.
  • Your intended married name WILL NOT appear on your marriage license OR marriage certificate.
  • Make sure your name is spelled correctly on the Marriage License before you leave the court.
  • I recommend obtaining your marriage license no later than one week prior to your wedding.  In some counties, the license does not expire, but there are some that have a 60 day expiration date.  Please consult your local agency for more details.
