No waiting period required except for those under the age of 18. If under age 18, there is a 72 hour waiting period.

The application fee is $50.00. However, the fee is reduced to $5.00 if the applicants present a certificate issued by a health care professional or an official representative of a religious institution, as described by 43 O.S. 5.1, demonstrating that the applicants have completed at least 4 hours of pre-marital counseling.

​

Fees may be paid in cash or by credit/debit card at the Courthouse Office and ONLY by credit/debit card at the Satellite Office.

There is no longer a requirement for an officiant to come to the courthouse and register their credentials. When the officiant signs the marriage license, they are certifying that they have the credentials or authority to perform marriages. There is no documentation of this required nor is the officiant any longer required to enter a book and page number where their credentials are recorded.

To avoid waiting in line, we suggest that you apply for your license early in the day, and that you make application a few days before your scheduled wedding date, in order to provide yourself an opportunity to address any unforeseen difficulties which may be encountered in processing your license.

​

For marriage license purposes, the court clerk is not able to identify an applicant in any manner other than that described in the identification which the applicant has presented to the court clerk. Former names, prior divorces and the like often present identification issues if identification presented does not match the names by which applicants identify themselves. In such cases where variances of identity arise, it may be necessary to present certified copies of court orders, divorce decrees, etc., to the court clerk in order to establish identity of the applicant.

​

Please be aware that marriage license procedures and fees are set by statute and are subject to amendment by the legislature.
