Marriage License

Marriage Licenses are valid (in the State of Wyoming only) for a period of one year from the date of issue. No blood test is required. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age to obtain a license without parental consent. For detailed information on marriage licenses, please read Wyoming State Statutes 20-1-101 through 20-1-113, which is available on the web.
Applicants under the age of 16 must have a court order before a license can be issued.
Before you apply for the license, you and your fiancée need to know and provide the following information:

Father's place of birth
Mother's place of birth
Mother's maiden name
If a previous marriage ended in death or divorce, the date of that death or divorce must be known.
Bride's and groom's social security numbers. While it is not required, we prefer to have each person provide identification, which shows his/her social security number. This helps to avoid having the wrong information on a legal document, which may cause problems later on.
Residential address
Age of bride and groom

Rules were adopted by the State of Wy on April 21, 2008 as follows: “(a) Obtain the information required for the completion of the certificate with the exception of that regarding the ceremony; (b) Secure the signatures of the people to be married on the certificate”. This means that both the bride and groom will be required to sign the application/certificate.
