My friends pastor may have not sent our marriage license in after the ceremony we got married February They have the signed certificate from the pastor. Are they legally married? Hi TJ. Have your friend contact the Clerk of Orphan's Court who issued the license.
Ask if they received it. If not, have them inquire about registered a delayed marriage license. Do we both have to go down to pick up a marriage license or can I go by myself. I hate checking.

We are from Maryland, but are getting married in Elizabethtown, PA. What is the process of obtaining a marriage license if we are out of the state? Do we need to get the license switched over after the wedding? How does this process work? Does PA accept marriages from the Universal Life church?
My friend asked me to get ordained online to perform her wedding, but I want to make sure this is legal. Thank you! Yes, Pennsylvania law doesn't get into the weeds of which religious body is able to officiate or not. The Register of Wills office may be able to set this up for you.

Showing your birth certificate is only necessary if you don't have a social security number. As for documenting your birth name or maiden name , it's generally referring to your initial name at birth and not a name change through adoption. However, it's not as though the court clerk is going to get into the weeds on such matters. My fiance and I get our wedding license on Wednesday, and were hoping to get married the following Monday.
We live in Lycoming county and was wondering if I should call the courthouse and see if I need an appointment or if we can just walk in. We're looking for a state where we don't need an officiant. Since we both reside in NJ, can we still get married in PA?
Is there any extra cost for us? You may solemnize your own marriage without an officiant by completing the certificate portion of your marriage license and sending it the issuing clerk for recording.
Hi Nicole. You can contact the Luzerne County clerk of orphan's court for a referral. Keep in mind, just because there are folks working in the courthouse that can perform marriages doesn't mean any will or are available. You also don't have to get married in the same courthouse where you plan to get your marriage license. Me and my girlfriend are looking to get married.
Everything that is required as far as documentation signing and funds needed to process the whole ordeal isn't really a problem. Well maybe getting her signature and that brings me to my problem my girlfriend is currently locked up in county prison. Can I have my uncle who is a major part in his churches ministry to conduct the ceremony during a no contact visit via telephone separated by glass be sufficient enough.
We applied for self-uniting license, and I put my current legal name on the application. Will that affect my name change after marriage? HI Alanna. You made the correct and only appropriate choice. You're post-marriage name change will go through fine. Hi Lanre. Your ID should be current. If you're a NY resident, then your driver's license will work fine.
Hey, My non-Us partner and I plan on getting married next month through a religious ceremony back in our home country. I have applied for a marriage license and interview. He plans on traveling to the US the following month to do the interview with his Visa anticipating we get an interview date during that type. Can my marriage date be before the interview? And it is in less the 20 business days, how will that be affected?
If it's a green card marriage, the interview questions will be different. You and your partner may face greater scrutiny. If that's not a concern, it doesn't matter when your marriage takes place.
