marriage license help

Where are you going? Are you going to the one in Hempstead on Washington Street?

We just got our license there Friday and all we needed was our passport and photo id.

Yes. I was just there. Before going I called them to make sure I had the right stuff with me--passport and photo id, which was all they were looking for. Call them just to verify.

This came off of the TOH website:

The marriage section of the Hempstead Town Clerk's office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Applicants should arrive prior to 4:15 p.m. Both applicants must appear in person. Two forms of ID are required (one must be valid photo ID). Marriage license applicants whose previous marriage(s) ended in divorce, annulment or death of spouse, must provide proof of dissolution of all previous marriage(s) by presenting a certified copy of Divorce or Annulment or certified copy of Death Certificate for each previous marriage.

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.
