The Inside Scoop on North Carolina Marriage License Filing

Getting ready to say “I do” in North Carolina?  As you plan the details of your wedding, don’t forget to apply for a marriage license…it’s the legal document that makes your marriage official in the eyes of the government (making it a rather important detail).

Great news if you’re a procrastinating bride, the Register of Deeds will issue your marriage license the same day you apply for it (no waiting periods for you) AND you can use your marriage license the same day you receive it!  Both of you will need to apply for your marriage license, and bring your state issued driver’s licenses as proof of identity.  After paying the $60 fee you’ll be “almost officially married”.  Congrats!
