If you live in Michigan, go to your county clerk's office and ask for their marriage licence packet.  That will contain all the information on cost, requirements, the waiting period (3 days in MI) and everything else.  They may even have a list of Wedding Officiants/ Justice of the Peace, who will sign it for you.\n\nIn order to be legally married you need to have an officiant (Clergy, Justice of the Peace or Professional Wedding Officiant) and two witnesses sign the license.  The officiant will sign if you take your vows in front of them.  A simple ceremony takes 5 minutes or less.  The license is only good for 30 days, so you need to get it taken care of in that period of time.\n\nIt's not uncommon to marry legally before or after the actual wedding.  You'll just need to make sure that the officiant you choose for the Big Day is all right with performing a ceremony without the legal papers to sign.  Some of them are particular about such things, but most will agree if you show them the license is already taken care of.\n\nGood Luck!!

We live in Hillsborough County Fl and 5 years ago applied for a marriage license. What you do is...\nGo to your local courthouse, and tell them that you are getting married. They will ask if you have attended a premarriage counseling session. If not you must apply and then wait 3 days to use the license. If you have, you may use it immmediatly.\n\nThe fees were 80.00+ for no counseling or 50.00 with counseling. They run out after around 3 months so you have some time to use it. GOOD LUCK!

This would depend entirely on the church, or denomination that you belong to and also on where you are from.\n\nAre you wanting to become a minister, or just to marry people? In may states you do not have to be ordained to marry people, some states allow Notarys to perform weddings, or they have Justice of the Peace who do civil weddings without having to be ordained.\n\nIf you are wanting to become ordained, the best advice that I can give you as an Archbishop myself, is to speak to your pastor, he can guide you in the proper direction.

You'd have to be a recognized, legally ordained minister, or apply to be a notary in MI.\n\n   If you happen to be either already, why not perform a ceremony elsewhere?\n\nRev. Steven\n\n   Why? would be a question I have.

I see no reason why not. By the way, how could you get married without a license? Didn't Jamaica require a lic. before the ceremony? Just wondering! Your marriage register is certified, so I see no problem. Oh yes, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I am not sure about Michigan, but in Wisconsin (Your Neighbor ;-)), You do need a valid driver's license.  While a permit is valid with supervision of an adult, it is not a valid form of identification. It must have a photo on it.  \n\nIn Wal-Mart stores that sell tobacco a valid form of id would be a State issued Identification card, whether it would be a identification or driver's license, they also accept military ID's, and passports. (The training is general, and state regulations might stipulate different.)\n\nI would give a call or stop into your local police department and ask.  It never hurts just to ask to be sure.

What you need to do is to first figure out what kind of marriage you would have - civil or religious. \nStep 1. \nRegardless of the process you would have to go to the town's clerk's office and fill out an application for request of marriage licence. At this point you will be asked if a civil or religious. \nStep 2. \nIn case of civil they will point you where you would need to set up an appointment with the judge for you marriage vows. In case of religious, contact your religious institution for the marriage appointment. \nStep 3. \nI believe in both the cases above either the Judge's office or your religious institution will send out the completed licence form back to the municipal office for processing. You wait and then finally get your marriage licence. \nStep 4. \nAssuming you are a US citizen, you can then either shop around a good immigration lawyer or ... do it yourself (depending on the complexicity of the case).

If you want it to recognized by the state than yes you need to apply for a marriage license, after the ceremony it will be signed by 2 witnesses and the person performing the ceremony. At that point you then turn it in at the court house and they issue you a marriage license. You need this license in order change your name on your license and social security card and for taxes.  I believe even in handfastings these days the same rules apply.

Depending on where you live, you have to file for a certificate a few days in advance.  Then you can just go to the courthouse, and they'll do it right there.  I would just call city hall, or the Justice of the Peace and find out what information you need.  Or you can just do a search, such as "Marriage license requirements" on the internet, and it'll tell you.  I'd put your state ahead of that.  I had to do a search for this for someone once before, and it will tell you if a blood test is required, and if any wait is required. In Texas, it's 36 hours, but some states have no wait.

The Courthouse of what ever county it was you were married in should have your marriage license.  If not there are numerous on-line agencies that find these for people but there are fees involved.

A marriage perfomed in another state/country is recoginzed by your home state.  The laws of Ireland would need to be followed, but I think they are pretty lax.  They would get the marriage license in Ireland, have the ceremony performed and then consider themselves married.  The Irish marriage certificate will be accepted by the DMV and Social Security administration to allow the wife's (or husband's if they so choose) name to be changed legally.
