Marriage License Information
You may apply for a license in any NC county up to 60 days in advance, but it's best to do it in the county of the wedding, although that is not required. No tests are needed, but you do need photo ID, actual Socal Security Card, and $60 (cash recommended). After the wedding, your officiant or planner returns the signed license back to them. Your official marriage certificate should be available within 1-2 weeks. (For $10 more you can pre-pay to have them mail you the official marriage certificate.) Any ordained minister can perform the ceremony. (See our blog for additional information about ministers) Note: If your honeymoon destination requires proof of marriage to guarantee their newlywed rates, take a copy of the signed marriage license with you.
