What to Bring for a Marriage License
43 covered counties publish a list of what applicants must bring. This guide counts what those lists name most often. The counts describe the covered counties only, not the whole country, and a county that does not name an item may still ask for it at the counter.
| Item | Counties naming it | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A government photo id | 41 | 95% |
| A social security number | 10 | 23% |
| A birth certificate | 7 | 16% |
| Proof of address | 3 | 7% |
Acceptable ID and document rules are set locally. Open your county for its own list.
