For those brides who got the marriage license in NYC

How long did the process take? I am trying to figure out how long I need to set aside to do this? Anyone know how long it takes in Queens?

Thanks!

Re: For those brides who got the marriage license in NYC

I have heard that it takes a long time at the Queens court house. I never met anyone who was there less than 2 hours. Because of that reason, I am going to LI.

Re: For those brides who got the marriage license in NYC

We went to Queens, and we stood on line for what seemed forever. (from start to finish it was about 2 hours). But mostly standing on line.

ETA: We also didn't know that they only accept money orders. I had to stand online and fill out the application while FH went to find a money order.

Re: For those brides who got the marriage license in NYC

Thanks Michelle for letting me know about the money orders! I had no idea! Is it better to go in the morning or afternoon?

Re: For those brides who got the marriage license in NYC

No problem!!! It was such a hassle, because I didn't see it anywhere in the NYS marriage license requirements that you needed a money order!

We live in NJ and we went during the jewish holidays (shhh...don't tell my rabbi!) we were there in the afternoon around 1:30 and didn't get out of there until about 3:30.

Re: For those brides who got the marriage license in NYC

It took us about an hour and a half. We got there at about 9:10am and there were about 50 ppl in front of us. If you can, I would go a little later - around 10:30ish.

No, you need to get your license in the state you are getting married. FH and I live in NJ but had to get our license in NY since that's where we're getting married.

Re: For those brides who got the marriage license in NYC

We got ours in NYC - we were amazed how quickly it took. We were in there for about 45 mins tops. We went early in the morning - there was only about 4 or 5 couples ahead of us.
