SC marriage licenses have no expiration date. I advise you to get the license a week or so prior to the ceremony to avoid any delays. If it is a short notice ceremony, just ask the clerk when you will be able to pick up the license. The issuing judge could be busy and delay the license a day or two.
Apply for your marriage license at the NC Register of Deeds office in the county where you are to be married. The license will be issued immediately and will be valid for up to 60 days. There is no state residency requirement and no blood tests are needed. Both applicants should appear at the Register of Deeds and must be 18 years old to be legally married.
Details may vary by county, so check with your local office before visiting. See the list below for what you will need to bring. Plan to arrive well before closing to allow enough time for marriage license processing, which might be 1-2 hours.
Items you will need to bring: - Social Security number (provide proof with a W-2 form, payroll stub or statement from the Social Security Office)
- Photo ID showing date of birth such as: drivers license, state ID card, passport or military ID.
- If age 18-21, also bring your Certified Birth Certificate (Not a copy)
- $50 to $60 license fee (cash fee depends on the county)
If you have been previously married... If you have been previously married, you will need to provide the date of the divorce and possibly a certified copy of the divorce decree. Check with your local office.
You are responsible for delivering the license to your officiant. He or she will complete the bottom portion of both copies and return it to the Register of Deeds within 10 days. To get a copy of your marriage license, complete a copy request form, which will cost $10. This form will come with your marriage license packet or you may find it on your local Register of Deeds website.
