Wyoming Marriage License: 3 Filing Tips

Engaged and curious how to file for a marriage license in Wyoming? A marriage license is the document that is signed by your minister/officiant and filed to make your marriage legal in the United States….so it’s rather important. Follow these 3 tips to make filing a breeze!

1. Plan Ahead – Wyoming is one of the only states that accepts marriage license applications without a waiting period and the license is valid for 12 months! You can use that large window to apply for your marriage license at a convenient time well ahead of your wedding date. *Be sure to arrive 30 minutes prior to the county clerk’s office closing time to allow enough time for your request to be processed.

2. Better Together – All offices require that both individuals who wish to be married appear in person to apply for their marriage license. Make sure to bring a government issued ID (driver’s license or passport) and your Social Security card. Both are needed for identification verification before your application is accepted.

3.Cash is King – A handful of county clerk’s offices in Wyoming will only accept cash or personal checks. Either verify your county’s specific payment methods at MarriageLicense.com, or ensure a smooth application process by bringing $30 in cash.
