MARRIAGE LICENSES

Requirements to obtain a marriage license:

·         Men and women 18 years of age and older may contract marriage in Michigan without parental consent. 

·         Persons 16 and 17 years of age may contract marriage in Michigan with written consent of both parents or legal guardians, who must appear at the time of application.

·         If one or both persons is a Michigan resident-apply in the county where either applicant lives. The license is valid throughout the state.

·         If both persons are out-of-state residents-they must apply in the county where the marriage will be performed. The license is valid in that county only.

  • Fee per couple: $20.00 for Michigan residents; $30.00 for out-of-state resident.

Important Information:

There is a 3-day waiting period before the license can be released.  The County Clerk, for good and sufficient cause shown, can waive this waiting period.  There is a $10.00 Expedite Fee.

The marriage must be solemnized within 33 days of application; the license is valid for 30 days.

The issued license may be picked up at the County Clerk's office.
