This answer belongs to the issuing office and task named above. It does not substitute a statewide summary or infer a rule the office does not publish.

Direct answer

In Fulton County, if either applicant has been married before, a certified copy of the final divorce decree, annulment or death certificate ending the most recent previous marriage must be presented in person at the time of application.
