Question

How does the marriage license thing work? Do I have to go with FH or can I go by myself and do I need anything?? I know it cost money but IDK if I needed anything else

you have to go with FH and it's a $40 fee. You both need a state issued picture form of identification (license) and something like a birth certificate or a baptismal (sp?) cert. If you google this you can find all the info.

Oh okay, thank you! I kind of figured FH needed to be there but thought may be I could go get it solo.

NO!!! You need to BOTH go on a week day! It's a pain, but it's easy, bring all your ID and exact change - $40 cash!

FYI if you go to Smithtown you also will need some sort of document showing your names & social security numbers.. either SS cards or just something else showing both your name & SS #.

You and your fiancee need to APPLY for it in person together. But once it's approved and ready, ANYONE can go pick it up from the registrar. At least that's the case in NJ.

In NY, or at least where I got mine (Huntington), you take it with you that day. It took 10-15 minutes - she asked questions and typed our answers into the form, printed it and gave it to us with an envelope for the minister to mail it back in.

That seems so much more efficient than having to go back and pick it up before the wedding! My mom went to pick it up for us since she lives in NJ and that's where the wedding was.

Yes, I got mine yesterday & took home same day. You will need both sign that is why you both need to be there.
