Re: Marriage License

you can go to ANY town hall that is nearby....you do not have to pick one in the county you'll be married in or anything...

You need a check or money order (no cash) for the amount of the fee (i believe $35).

You both need your licenses.

You both need your ORIGINAL birth certificates.

That's all she wrote!

My only thought is because it's a government agency and they have to keep records of everything..????

From Town of Hempstead's website

Effective August 1, 2003 the New York State Department of Health has increased the marriage license fee to $40.00, which includes the cost of the marriage certificate. As an agent of the state, the Hempstead Town Clerk's office is required to charge the increased fee. A blood test is not required. Payment may be made in cash or by local check or money order made payable to Hempstead Town Clerk.
