Marriage License Requirements

If one of the parents cannot appear at the time of applying for the license, an absentee application may be completed and NOTARIZED ahead of time. At least one parent must appear in person. A parent who has sole custody of a minor will be required to sign a statement to this fact. This is to be presented when the marriage license is issued.

The court order must be obtained in the county where judicial approval has been granted.
