Marriage License Fees by County

This guide compares the marriage license fee posted by 61 counties in 25 states. Each figure is the fee for the license itself as the issuing office lists it, without copies, courses or add-ons, and links to the county page it came from.

Fees run from $20 (Kent County, MI) to $172 (Pierce County, WA), and the middle value is $63.54.

2 covered counties list cash as the only accepted payment, so check how you can pay before you travel: Kane County and Lake County.

Fees are set locally and often change at the start of a fiscal year. The table shows the date each page was last checked. If the date is old, open the county page and the office's own page before you rely on the figure.
