You must apply for a marriage license in the county where you reside, but it can be used anywhere in the State of Michigan.
Out-of State marriage licenses can be obtained for an additional $10.00 fee and MUST be obtained in the County that you want to be married in. They are not valid in other counties.
It is not necessary that both parties are present to apply for the license but they will need to provide the following information. An outside party CANNOT apply for a license for anyone else.
BOTH PARTIES MUST PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING:
- Birth Dates
- Social Security numbers
- Present Age
- Number of previous marriages
- Current address including city/township and state
- Mother and Father’s full names (mother’s maiden name)
- Mother and Father’s states of birth
The fee for the license is $20.00 and may be picked up 3 days after application. The bride or groom can only pick it up unless other arrangements are made with the Clerk’s office. Please check the license carefully. It is vital that everything on the license is correct. The only way to make corrections after the wedding takes place is through the court system.
The license is valid for 30 days.
