you mean to get your marriage license 2 months before the wedding I believe
you are applying for a license to get married, you wont get legally married there. They do have chapels for those who wish to do so but you are only getting a license and you do it no more than 60 days before the wedding bc it expires after 60 days
Check out the 'Planning' section of this website...it has a lot of info about how to get a marriage license in NY State

You get your marriage license, with that license you have 60 days to get married either by a church, justice of the peace, anyone licensed to perform marriages in NY State. When tou get married at a church your officiant and your and your witnesses(MOH & BM) will sign it and the church takes care of sending it to the state. After the state recieves it they will send you back your marriage certificate, which justifies that you are legally married.
HTH.

We signed ours at our rehearsal, as did our witnesses, the Priest signed it after the Mass.
We had our marriage certificate waiting in our mailbox when we got home from our honeymoon.![]()
