The fee for a marriage license is $83.00 payable by cash or money order, debit card or credit card. Plus $37.50 for a certified copy of your official marriage record once signed by the officiant. *Note it can take up to six weeks for your official copy to be sent. Ask your officiant on how to expedite this.

Both parties must be present to obtain a marriage license. Each individual is required to provide a valid government-issued photo I.D., such as a driver's license, passport, etc. to show proof of age and confirm identity.

Note: Effective May 28, 2021, a Matricula Consular I.D. card will be accepted as a valid form of identification for any type of marriage license to be issued, as long as the foreign government has used biometric identity verification techniques (i.e. fingerprint identification, retina scans, etc.) in issuing the consular identification card. Arizona Revised Statute 25-121(B) requires applicants to provide their social security number (SSN), if any.

Except for child support purposes, the Clerk's Office may not release SSNs without the applicant's written request.

A copy of a divorce decree is not required; blood tests are not required.

Complete the marriage license application form.

A marriage license must be issued prior to the ceremony taking place, signed at completion of the ceremony, and returned.

You will receive your marriage license on the same day you apply for the license, and can be married on the same day,

if you have made arrangements with an officiant of your choice to perform the ceremony.

However, you have up to one (1) year from the date the marriage license was issued to get married,

as the license expires one (1) year from the date of purchase.

After the bottom portion of the license has been returned and recorded,

a certified copy can be requested and mailed to you for an additional $37.50 payable at the time you apply for the license.

For further information, you may call (602) 372-5375.
