Marriage License Info

Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. To obtain a marriage license, an official marriage license application must be completed and signed by both parties. Applications are completed in the clerk’s Office and both parties must be present.

The fee for the license is $54.00, payable by cash, card, money order or check.

After the license is issued, there is a three-day waiting period before the license may be used.

Once the license becomes effective, the couple has 60 days to have the ceremony performed anywhere in Oregon. This period is not extendable; if the 60 day limit is exceeded, a new license must be purchased. No blood tests or physicals are required.

After the ceremony, the officiant has 5 days to complete and return the license to the Clerk’s Office.  The Clerk will issue a certified copy of the license which may be used for DMV, Social Security and other agencies requiring proof of name change.
