What to look up for your county
Where to apply, both-parties-present rules, ID requirements, waiting period after application, how long the license remains valid, and who may solemnize. Destination ceremonies inside another state follow that state’s rules.
Calendar the validity window
Some licenses expire quickly. Put “apply / collect / return” tasks on a shared timeline relative to the wedding date so you do not hold an expired license on the day.
Canada and destination notes
Canadian couples follow provincial rules. Marrying abroad may need additional documents. Keep embassy or local authority lead times on the same checklist as venue deposits.
