Re: marriage license question

YOu have to get it within 60 days prior to your date...but at least 24 hours before-there is a 24 hour waiting period.

You go to the town hall that is in the town you are getting married in.

You will need your DL, SS card, Birth certificate, passport-2 of any of these

I think ours was 40-maybe 35 not sure

Payable in cash at some locations-money order or check is the smarter way but you need to know the cost

You go to the town hall that is in the town you are getting married in.

just wanted to add that you can get the license in any town hall in the entire state--whether its in Long Island of Buffalo....makes no difference.
