Here's what you need to know, and what you have to do to get a Marriage License in Arizona. (Note: These details were obtained from the Clerk of the Superior Court of Maricopa County.)

If you are both 18 years or older, you can get a marriage license.

If you're under 18, you'll have to have a notarized parental consent form or have your parents accompany you, present the proper identification, and sign the parental consent form in front of the clerk issuing your license.

If you are age 16 - 17 identification and one of the following documents showing proof of age is needed: certified copy of birth certificate; current driver's license; state or military I.D. card; or current passport.

If you are age 15 or under, you must also have a court order to get a marriage license.

The fee for a marriage license is $50 payable by cash or check with a driver license, bank guarantee card or credit card. There is an extra charge for a certified copy, which is required if the bride will be changing her name at Social Security and MVD.

If you are purchasing a license at the Justice Courts, they accept checks, money orders, or cashiers checks.

No blood test is required to obtain a marriage license.

Copies of previous divorce decrees are not required.

You may be required to provide proof of age to obtain a marriage license.

You'll receive your marriage license at the time you apply for it, so you can be married on the same day.

The marriage license is valid for one year, and can only be used within the State of Arizona.

Marriages may be performed by a member of the clergy, a judge, a magistrate, a clerk of the circuit court, or a clerk or clerk-treasurer of a city or town.

There are special requirements for Covenant Marriages.

You do not have to be an Arizona resident to get a marriage license here.

Neither common law marriages nor same sex marriages are recognized in Arizona.

In 2004 AZ stopped allowing application for the license by mail to ensure that a marriage license would not be issued to a same sex couple.

If you have other questions about a marriage license, please contact the Clerk of the Superior Court at 602-506-3360 or 506-2125.

What You Need:

Proof of age ** $50 (plus $18 for certified copy) ** And a fiancée of course!
