Applying for Marriage License In NYC - how long at the Manhattan office???

Hi there, I am getting married in New York city and have to go to the City Clerk Manhattan Office. Can someone tell me how long it takes to apply and get your marriage license? I want to bring my cousins for some sightseeing but I’d feel bad if they had to wait hours with us at the office if it takes that long!

I just want to make sure you know that both you and FH have to appear in person for your marriage license. This isn't just something you can 'pick up' without him.

we were in and out in about 45 mins. we were also expecting the worst. make sure you bring a money order ( i think it was $35 but there's acutally a sign at the door before you enter that tells you exactly;then you can walk down the block and get a money order from the check cashing place)
