No blood tests anymore.
Just your ID.
long island does not require blood tests and you can pay via personal check. It's 40 dollars and is good for 3 months from the day AFTER you pick it up. It is NOT good the DAY OF.
On Long Island it was $40, and we paid cash.
I'm bringing my passport just to be safe! Seems every office is a little different...

yup--blood tests are a thing of the past.
it seems when you go to the 5 boroughs of NYC--you just need a license. but if you go to long island places--they want both original birth certificate and license.
ETA: forgot to say we did it at islip town hall--$40 cash

what was that whole blood test thing for anyway? I have an idea but i'm not 100% sure..![]()
lol see, it's different everywhere. They just love to confuse us I guess.
Where exactly do you have to go to get the license? Does it matter which town hall (like the bride's or the groom's)? Is it a town hall or a state office (like in Hauppauge). I am confused!

my mom had to do it like 3 decades ago--i think to ensure that the couple weren't carrying any blood borne diseases/infections that they could pass onto each other or offspring?i feel like googling it!
ETA: this is from wikipedia:
Many U.S. states require a waiting period of 1-6 days, and some still require verification via blood testing that the applicants are not carrying syphilis, a sexually-transmitted disease. However, a number of states have recently eliminated the blood test requirement.
