From the Desk of Reverend Starlene Joyner Burns - 202.253.3629

 

 

 

License fee: $25 - $70 (fees and payment methods varies from county to county) 

 

Waiting Period:  48 hour

 

Valid:  6 months

 

Blood Test Required:  No

 

Witnesses:  No witnesses are needed for the signing of the certificate

 

My Job:  After the wedding, you will receive the certificate copy from your package.  This document will have a raised county seal on it, and can be used to change your name with the Department of Motor Vehicle, Social Security, and on your job. 

 

If the certificate copy does not have a raised seal, you will have to request a certified copy from the court clerk's office. 

 

Montgomery County does not provide an official copy of the marriage license for the couple to receive, after the wedding.  Therefore, you will receive the keepsake certificate from your package.  Five days after the marriage, you may request a certified copy from the Montgomery County Court Clerk's Office at a fee. 

 

For the Record:  I have 5 days after the wedding to file the marriage license with the court clerk's office where it was issued.  The clerk of the court will not send you anything regarding your marriage.  The marriage license certificate you receive after the ceremony (that bears the county's seal) will be your legal record of marriage.

 

For a certified copy, please wait 5 days before applying.
