Marriage Licenses
To obtain a marriage license both the bride and the groom must apply together in person at the Recorder's Marriage License Department. The bride or groom may pick up the license three days after the application is made. A fee of $48 in cash is required at time of application. Applicants must present: Current ID (drivers license or Birth certificate). If one of the applicant is not a US Citizen, he or she must present a valid passport and passport number. Both must present proof of social security number (or a drivers license or pay stub). The marriage license office can keep the license in the office up to 90 days. Applicants have a period of 30 days to have the ceremony performed in the state of Missouri by any minister. To request copies of old certificates: $ 3.00 to request non certified copy. $12.00 to request certified copy. In order for the bride to change her name with various agencies , she will need proof of the marriage. Thus she will need to obtain the $12.00 certified copy as acceptable proof of marriage for the name change on her driver's license, social security card, etc. Created 12-Jul-04 Updated 20-Nov-09 |
