Each link goes to an official state page about marriage licenses or marriage records, opened and checked on 2026-10-07. Arizona and DC link the court offices that the CDC's directory names for marriage records; Pennsylvania links the court clerk list the CDC links. Pages move; if a link fails, use the CDC's Where to Write for Vital Records directory.
Each state, and often each county, town or court office, sets its own rules for marriage licenses. We don't restate them; these pages do, or they point you to the office that issues licenses where you'll marry.
State
Official starting page (marriage licenses or records)
Not legal advice. You can do every official step yourself, directly with the office that issues marriage licenses. State vital records pages, county, town and court clerk pages, the CDC's directory of vital records offices and USAGov's marriage certificate page are free to read. This kit is a paid planning convenience, not a requirement; you don't need it to get married.
