You should have had it when you got back from your HM. Who mailed it for you?

I think a couple weeks is standard, maybe a tad longer?

Ours came at some point while we were on our HM .. Since we didn't leave for the HM until 5 days after the wedding and were gone for 10 days, it came @2 weeks later

Oh no!!! Really? I thought the priest mailed it, or the coordinator at the church. Ugh. Thanks so much for the info. I would have waited for weeks!!!

Our pastor mailed it. We got it two weeks after the wedding.

we had ours by the time we got back from the honeymoon, so I guess it was 2 weeks after we were married.

The church just told me that they mailed it, so I called the town of Huntington, and they said it takes a month.

Our marriage certificate was waiting for us upon our return from our Parisian honeymoon. We were away for 12 days in Paris, France and it was in our mail upon our return.

Re: How long does it take for the Marriage Certificate to arrive?

Finally just got mine today because I showed up at the City Clerk in person. Good thing I did because it had been processed but was just sitting in a huge pile with a ton of others waiting to be mailed. I'm so glad I went down there because God knows how much longer I would have waited otherwise. Now I can fianlly get on with the paperwork.
