Marraige License and Passport

I can't believe how dumb I am. FH and I waited till the last minute to go for our passports because we couldn't get there during operating hours. We went a few weeks ago and it will probably take another few weeks. Now we need to get our marraige license but don't have out birth certificates! I never thought that they would actually take out birth cirtificates when we applied for the passports. Then it never occured to me that we would need them for the license. I know we only need to fet the license 24 hours before have but I'd like to have some time here. Hopefully all works out, otherwise I may have two big problems! I just wanted to pass along the info so no one else makes the same mistake!! Either get your marraige license first or do your passport really early!

If you go within the NYC limits you only need you drivers license.

Re: Marraige License and Passport

I applied for my passport a Saturday in April. Not the following Saturday, but the Saturday after that my passport and birth certificate came back, so it only took two full weeks to send it away, process, and receive. Maybe now because it's busier season it's taking longer, but if you went a few weeks ago you should have it in two more weeks tops, and you'll be fine!
