Ocean City Marriage License

Now that you’ve got your dates and venues set, it’s time to tackle the paperwork.  You will need to aquire a marriage license from the clerk of the county you are getting married in.  County rules vary from state to state, but tend to be pretty similar.  The quickest way is to apply in person.  You will need to provide proof of identification.  This can include a copy of your birth certificate, drivers license or passport.  You will also need the contact information and social security number of you and your spouse. If this is not your first marriage you will need to provide either a decree of divorce or a death certificate.   Some clerks will allow you to file through the mail (especially if you are out of state).  Your license will be temporary and may have restrictions.  I have included a complete directory of the Delmarva peninsula clerks and requirements on page 9 of our Ocean City Beach Wedding Catalog to make it as easy as possible for you.
