The license is good for 60 days (from the issue date). It's $40 (cash!) and you need 2 forms of ID, like driver's license, passport, work photo ID.

We're getting ours at the end of this month.
Oh, and you need to go during the week too. We're going to Hempstead and I think the hours are like 9 - 3:30 or something like that.

Someone just posted on BHB for Smithtown you need soc sec card & DL - they would not accept birth certficate!! Just FYI.

We still haven't gone yet. Of course I wanted to go 60 days exactly but FH was like 'a month before'.

uh oh... i don't know where my social security card is!
question-- do you have to get the license in the county/borough where you live? or are getting married? or does it not matter?
I read its cheaper in the city (i live in queens anyway).

I don't think it matters on the location you get your license or does it?

I heard it was more in the city...

hmmm...

I dont think that it matters where in NY you get it ... but I really don't know for sure...

(just did some reading up on it)

yeah, i just read it IS more in the city... i thought it was the other way around.

my bad

and it doesn't matter where you get it. It should be valid in all of NYS.

Islip: 224-5691
Smithtown: 360-7512
Southampton: 283-6000
Riverhead: 727-3200 Ext. 260
Babylon: 957-3000

Re: When do you get marriage license?

correcting my last post (maybe)--- i just read that its $40 in Nassau county and $35 in the city. (not like the $5 is gonna break the bank though)

Is that right? I'm so confused!

this really sucks that they aren't open late or on weekends. I can't take anymore vacation days!!! guess i'll be taking a sick day!

Re: When do you get marriage license?

Before we went this morning, I called Smithtown and they said DL and Soc Sec card or something (paystub, medical card) with name & ssn.
