Are you getting ready to walk down the aisle in Kentucky? Hold your horses (yes we went there) and read these tips to ensure your marriage license filing process goes smoothly! Tip 1: No Need to Wait There is no wait time for marriage licenses in Kentucky, so you can walk into the county clerk's office and walk out with a marriage license the same day. Just be sure to arrive 30 minute before the office closes so the clerk has time to process your application and issue your license! Tip 2: Apply 2-3 Weeks Before Your Wedding Date Marriage licenses are valid for 30 dates from the date of issue in Kentucky, so apply for your license before but not too ahead of your wedding. You don't want to be down to the wire and stressed about filing the day of your wedding, but you also don't want to miscalculate and apply for a license too soon and have it expire before you say "I do." Tip 3: Together Is Better All county clerk offices in Kentucky require that both partners be present to file for the marriage license. Be sure that you both bring proof of identification such as Social Security cards and driver's licenses. You can also expect to pay $35+ for your marriage license. Specific county information can be found by searching your county on our website!
South Carolina has a very simple marriage license filing process compared to many other states. While the fee for a marriage license will differ based on the county you file in, your marriage license is valid in any county (so you don't have to make a special trip to the county you are getting married in if it isn't your county of residence). *Please note that a few counties only accept cash payment of the filing fee. Another great thing about saying "I do" in South Carolina: there isn't a wait time for your marriage license to be issued AND there isn't an expiration date! This means you can relax a little and file for your license at a convenient time. No need to calculate how many days prior to your wedding you need to file and stress about making that work with your schedules. Ready to file for your South Carolina marriage license? Plan on both you and your fiancé filing in person at the county clerk's office (one more step towards togetherness). You should both bring your social security cards and state issued driver's license or photo ID.
