Hi ladies..so I'm clueless on getting a marriage license..I know where to go, but are there rules on when? I'm getting married May 10...if I go the Thursday before May 8th is that too late?
i would go sooner just in case. Find out the times at your location. At my city hall they did it from 9am - 11am and 2pm - 4pm. You need your birth certificate and drivers license (or passport) and $40 cash. You can go up to 60 days before your wedding so i would go soon!
I'm not sure how long you need in advance!! I hope it's not too late!! I know the license is $40. And you need 2 forms of ID!! I am not sure if you need a ss card. I have to look through my papers I got from my church..I know when I read it we had everything!!!

Nope, you don't need your social security card - just have an official copy of your birth certificate, and your license. Honestly, when my husband and I went they didn't even ask to see our birth certificates!
ETA - and it's a $35 money order - they will not accept any other form of payment!!

Its a $35 money order if you get your license in any of the 5 boroughs.
In Long Island you need $40 and it can be in cash.
We got it!!!!! We went yesterday to Hempstead....so easy we were in and out in a 1/2 hr. You can pay cash $40 and you get the license right then and there. I feel so much better now that it's done. Thank you ladies for all your help.
