Marriage License Guidance

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

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, you will have to obtain your marriage license from FULTON COUNTY if you are not GA residents.
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.
