So my fiance is at Fort Benning for basic training. His graduation is July 3rd and his family day is July 4th. We are both residents of Texas. His grandfather is an ordane.
How do we go about getting our marriage license? because July 4th is a federal holiday, how else can we get married in the state of Georgia? I'm not sure if we will have a chance on July 3rd or 5th. If we do, how long does it take to get a marriage license?
Since your fiance cannot apply absentee or by proxy in Georgia, you'll have to take advantage of the 60 day expiration period and apply as early as possible. Even right now is not too early.
The application process is about 30 minutes long. You'll get your marriage license the same day.
what is the $42 course fee associated with getting a marriage license?

My boyfriend and I plan on getting married in August but we want to just have a “courthouse wedding” or just a judge to legally bound us.
We both live outside of Georgia and he is in the military so he only gets a couple days off for this. When we apply for a marriage license, is it possible for us to get married in the courthouse that same day? And does that become the marriage certificate after all parties have signed?
You'll likely have to schedule your ceremony in advance. Call the probate court ahead of time to determine availability. They may have to redirect you to a magistrate court if your schedules can't align.
It might be the same document. After your ceremony is done, the judge will have to record and file your marriage license.
You may or not be able to receive a certified copy of your marriage record moments after you're married. That's a question you can ask when you schedule your ceremony.

Passport.
Your marriage license must also be returned to the issuing probate court within 30 days following your marriage ceremony. This records/registers your marriage. Your officiant should do this for you.
Is the ceremony mandatory or can my fiance and i just fill out the marriage license paperwork?
The marriage ceremony is mandatory.
Completing a marriage license application to get a marriage license just allows you to marry. It doesn't make you married. You have to get the marriage solemnized and return the marriage license for recording.

Can you obtain a marriage license with an expired ID card?
HI Osayabamwen. It's up to the probate clerk whether or not an expired ID card is acceptable.

It's based on the day you apply, not the day you marry.
You may ask the probate court clerk for referrals.
Yes, but it needn't be elaborate.
Georgia court are closed on federal holidays, which includes Labor Day.
How far in advance do I need to apply for a marriage license? Also, could we married at the same time the marriage license is obtained?

That's up to the probate court judge. You'll need to schedule this in advance. Contact the probate court to make arragements.
My fiancé and I plan on getting married out of state (where he is originally from) in December, but we will reside in GA and are both already GA residents.
Do we need both the license and certificate before getting married on our ceremony date, or can we legally get married at the court here before?
If you're not marrying in Georgia, you're on the wrong state page. You'll want to jump back to the marriage license homepage and choose the state where your marriage ceremony will take place.
Yes. Wherever you apply for a marriage license will supply you with a license and certificate of marriage. Each must be completed post-ceremony and returned for recording.
I don't know what you mean by this. Get married at court before you get your license? Please clarify.
I see conflicting information about when a wedding must take place after obtaining a marriage license. At the top it says there is no expiration date so you can get married any time. But in the faq section it says you must get married within 60 days. Which is correct?
Hi Rick. The top portion was mistaken and corrected. The expiration period is indeed 60 days after issuance.
Are the courthouses still doing marriages since Covid me and my fiancé wanna get married at the courthouse soon?
Hi Victoria. It varies. Which county courthouse are you trying to get married in?

Can we register our kid in back date so I can use for applying their visa in UAE? Also we’re not in same religion, I am Muslim & she’s Christian, does she needs to convert first before our marriage? I'm residence of UAE but my fiancé lives in Philippine.
Hi Ali. This page is dedicated to marriage in the U.S. State of Georgia. You appear to be referencing the country Georgia. Having said that, you can review these two resources about child registration woes and registering your child's birth in UAE for further guidance.
Is it okay if we bring our kids in the courthouse with us to obtain our marriage license?
Hi Nadia. That depends on the courthouse and if they have in-person limits, but it's unlikely any such limitation exists.
I am a Pastor/Ordained Minister in the states of Florida and Arizona. My childhood best friend asked if I would fly out to Glynn County, GA to officiate he and his bride-to-be's wedding. Do I need to present my credentials or am I okay to officiate?
Hi Tavious. You're fine to officiate.
Hello,
I and my fiancé would like to come to Georgia to get married. We are both coming from abroad and can only have time to be there for 5 days. Is it enough time to get all the required documents including marriage certificate and translation and Apostille so that he can use to apply for marriage visa for Germany? Do we need to make any in-advance appointment at PSH?
I would be really grateful of you could please briefly write the steps and procedures and the time required for each + costs.
Very many Thank You in advance.
There's no waiting period to receive your marriage license or marry afterward, so there's no bottleneck there.
It depends on how fast your marriage license is returned to the probate court for recording and how fast they can provide you a certified copy. Then you'd have to take the certified copy to an apostille service for processing.
You'll have to contact the probate court in advance to determine if they'll allow you (the couple) to return your marriage license in person the same day you marry and get issued a certified copy the same day as well.
I don't know what you mean by PSH. But you'll want to get in touch with an apostille office to determine if they can express mail you the certificate to your designated address.
Marriage license is $56–82. Certificate is $10. Obtaining an apostille varies, but you should expect to pay anywhere between $70 to $140, which may or may not include the cost for shipping.
Hey, I’m hard of hearing & I’ve been thinking getting married soon but my question is would they be able to provide interpreter for me or do I have to pay?

What all I need to bring to get married on the court house?
Hi Robert. Bring photo ID, proof of divorce (if applicable), and the fees (license and ceremony). You should schedule your ceremony in advance.
Can we bring just our parents in due to COVID?
Hi Gloria. Bring them into where and for what purpose? To offer consent for an underage marriage? If so, they can do that via affidavit.
If it's to service as a witness to a courthouse marriage, that must be arranged with the court. Keep in mind, Georgia law doesn't require ceremony witnesses.
If it's something else, please clarify.
When I go apply for my marriage license can I make an appt at that time for my ceremony?
Hi Taquoya. You should be able to make an appointment the day you apply, but that doesn't mean you'll get a same day appointment. If you need your license and ceremony done in the same day (or on a specific day), it's better to make your appointment in advance.
Oh no don't want to get married the sane day I'm applying for the license. Going to make an appt at the time I apply for a future date to come back to get married. Thank you.
Do you have to get married in GA if you get your license in GA? How do the courts keep track of this if so?

When you get your marriage license (2/22) can we get legally married same day with a court officiant? We don't need the marriage ceremony but just need an officiant to marry us. Is that possible?
Hi Cameron. You'll have to schedule your courthouse ceremony separately and in advance.
We completed the marriage license paperwork but did not have a ceremony or an officiant (judge, pastor, etc) marry us. Are we married?
Hi Nylah. If you didn't hold a ceremony, then you're not married. You must get your marriage solemnized, and then return your marriage license to the probate judge for recording.
Hi, my fiance and I are getting married, I've been married before, I don't have my final divorce decree. Can it be looked up from the courts that granted my divorce?
Hi Lennette. Yes, the source courts should provide certified copies.
How many witnesses can I bring to a courthouse ceremony? I heard it was 10 people but I just wanted it confirmed.
That depends on the courthouse. Which county is it?
Me and my fiance are from North Carolina but we are getting married at a venue in GA. If we come the Friday before the wedding on Saturday is that enough time to get our license?
Hi EJ. That's enough time, as licenses are issued the same day.
My fiance & I are planning on getting married soon in the very near future, however our current judge (Bulloch county) no longer does the ceremonies just the license - are we able to go to a neighboring county to have another judge do the ceremony part of it all? Both of us do reside in Bulloch County, GA etc.

My boyfriend and I both live in Georgia. His license is a GA license, mine however is still a Jacksonville address. Do I need to have my license changed before we were to get married?
No, this doesn't matter. As long as your license is valid and unexpired it's fine.
Me and my boyfriend want to get married. What is the totally time needed for this process to be done? Does this make us fully married or is there another step to that?
That depends on the workload of the office. If they're not busy, the application process should take about 20 minutes.
Filling out the application to get your marriage application is part one. Part two is getting your marriage solemnized (the ceremony). Part three is returning your marriage license to the clerk for recording.
What is the appropriate attire to wear to get married by a judge? Male and female?
Hi Thuy. Here's a Georgia courthouse dress code that's for the probation office. But courthouse dress codes are similar across the board. Across states. It's not so much about what you should wear, but what you shouldn't.
I already got my marriage licenses we paid $56 for them last week and we was told when we get through getting married when we go to turn them in its $10.
But I was wondering we are getting married at the Albany GA courthouse they said the magistrate court judge will be the one marrying us tomorrow but I was wondering do we have to pay the judge anything for marry us and preforming the wedding ceremony for us and if so how much do we have to pay?
Hi Savannah. Most judges will charge a fee, but they don't have to. Some may officiate your marriage for free. They set their own rates.
I am an Georgia residence and my fiancée is Chinese. She will come to the state on a tourist visa. What documents does she need to bring in order to get married?
Hi Matthew. Any government-issued ID that confirms her age is sufficient. If she's been divorced, she should bring a certified copy of your divorce certificate. The certificate should be translated if not in English. The equivalent document should be produced if she's been widowed.
What if my fiancée is from a foreign country. How do I proceed with getting a marriage license.
The procedure is the same. Just make sure your fiancée bring valid, government-issued photo ID.
Do you have to set up an appointment?
Hi Johnnie. Do you know which county you're going to apply in?

Is there anything we should know about this? Also why does the application make you put that the reason is religious?
Yes, that would work.
No, there's nothing extra.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. Every county designs their own application. It's not standardized statewide. Could you cite the county?
My fiancé is incarcerated in a Georgia State Prison. I took all the steps they required to get the marriage license. Now I have the marriage license they are now saying they aren’t allowing anyone to get married after making me go through all these steps.
In order to get the marriage license I had to get the marriage application notarized with his signature, Notarized affidavit stating his intent to marry me, and Notarized copy of his state ID. Once I completed that I took my drivers license and divorce decree with the rest of the documentation. Now I have the marriage license.
My question is since the state prison is refusing to let us complete are solemnizing with our officiant can I use the notarized documentation to get the officiant to complete our marriage license since he legal stated on paper he accepts me as his wife? It worked to get the marriage license.
Thanks
Hi Nel. You may have to consult with an attorney. What was the reason for their refusal? Could you provide further details on their rationale?
Can I get my marriage license and do ceremony on the same day?
Hi Tye. If you need a same-day courthouse marriage, then you need to set that up in advance with the probate court. Otherwise, you'll have to hire a third-party officiant to conduct your ceremony the same day.
Hi there, we are getting married and are working on filling out the application for the license. It asks about parents info. What do we do if we don’t know the birth city and or the current address for some of our parents?

You can leave your parents' info blank if you don't know it.

We are thinking of getting married in Albany, GA. We have a date in mind already. Do we have to have the marriage license before we schedule a date? Do we have to have witnesses?
No, but keep in mind your marriage license will expire 60 days after issuance. So schedule your marriage ceremony within this timeframe.
Ceremony witnesses are not required.
My fiancé and I are both Georgia residents, but are hoping to do a short and sweet ceremony on a beach outside the country. If we have someone ordained in the state of Georgia to officiate, are we able to use and sign the Georgia marriage certificate there and then return to have it recorded (within 30 days of the ceremony)?
I'm not sure what you mean by "outside of the country." Your marriage ceremony must take place within Georgia's jurisdiction.
