Marriage License

How long before the actual wedding should you get the marriage license?

I called the priest at my church and he's not sure....

Thank you!

you can get it 30 days before.
I seem to remember the church telling us something about it being valid for 60 days or something like that? Maybe my memory fails me - If I'm wrong I'll check when I get home from work.

You have to wait until you are at least 60 days before your wedding. But you can't use it for 24 hours so don't go the absolute last day!!

Within 60 days of the wedding, but more than 24 hours before your wedding. We've been meaning to go for weeks and are just getting to go tonight.

Thanks so much!!!

Just another question.....

Do you get the license the same day or do they mail it to you?

Thanks!

You get the license the same day, they print it out for you right there.

The marriage certificate you get in the mail after your wedding.
