Getting Your Marriage License
December 4, 2013
There is no 1 right way to get a Marriage License, and this is the most confusing part. But it is also the good part because it gives couples options.
What is always the same? A license is good for 60 days and takes 24 hours to mature. I recommend getting it about a month before the wedding, but now is a good time to make sure that you have your documents.
All the license information is on my web site along with links to replace any documents you may need.

What to bring as for ID is a little different in the city and on the Island. The city will issue a license with just a passport or drivers license, while in Nassau & Suffolk you also need a Birth or Baptismal Certificate. The city has online forms that you can fill out at home then pick up the document within 21 days, but the Island has evening hours. Whatever works is totally the order of the day!
