You must be at least 18 years old. There is no waiting period. You do not need a blood test. You both have to be here in-person at the same time to complete the process and obtain your marriage license. A marriage license costs $102; you can pay by credit or debit card, but there is an additional fee -- and checks are not accepted. Once you submit your application, it will stay in our system for one year.
