This varies from county to county. It's best to call the particular county you are going to and ask what they require so that you can arrive with peace of mind knowing you have what they will be wanting. Some require only a driver's license and others also ask for social security number proof, divorce papers, etc.
Can we get our license online or through the mail?
There are possible notary and affidavit avenues depending on the county, but as of now you cannot get your license online. By far the easiest and quickest way to acquire your marriage license is for both of you to be present. If you have in hand what they will be asking for it usually only takes about 10-15 minutes.
What do we do with the wedding license after we get it?
Hold on to it and deliver it to your officiant on the day of the rehearsal or wedding date so that he or she can be sure to fill out all the correct information as well as have your two witnesses fill their parts in the designated areas. You will have already signed it on the day it was issued to you. The officiant is then required to submit the license back to the county register of deeds from which it was issued. This must be done within ten days of the wedding date.
