Getting Your Marriage License

              (does not apply to vow renewals)

• Couples marrying in Pennsylvania  must obtain a marriage license from any issuing county in PA regardless of residence or county wedding will take place in.
• It is the responsibility of the couple to obtain the marriage license at least 3 days prior to wedding day.  The license is valid for 60 days. 
• Couple must furnish a printed marriage license from the county.  Marry Me Philadelphia cannot guarantee the ability to print documents on behalf of the client unless previously arranged. 

Due to the pandemic, effective 6/2020, couples must mail back the “duplicate certificate” portion of the marriage license to the applicable county.  Couples must contact the county directly to obtain the certified marriage certificate.   

Lost documents: Marry Me Philadelphia will not be held liable for any lost documents.  In the event the county does not receive your documents, please contact the county directly to obtain a copy of your documents.  There will be a $100 fee for the processing of additional documents up to 6 months after wedding day. After 6 months the processing of additional documents will be considered a new appointment for which full package fees will apply.
