Marriage License Information
In Oregon, your marriage license can come from any County and will then be good in any County in Oregon.
You cannot get your marriage license and then hold onto it for more than 60 days before using it. It then becomes null and void.
And you cannot get married any sooner than 3 days after you get your license. Some counties allow you to apply for your license by mail, for those of you who may live out of town.
After the wedding, you must either go back to the County or inquire by mail, where you acquired your license from and pay them another fee (usually $7.50) to obtain a Certified Copy of your marriage license. It usually takes a couple of weeks if you get married in the busy summer months, for them to get your license recorded before you can get copies. A Certified copy is necessary to have if the bride is planning on changing her name.
The DMV should probably be your first stop, then the Social Security Administration, banks, etc.
The State of Washington laws are similar to Oregon and I'm a licensed facilitator authorized to perform weddings there, also.
For more information, your best resource is always your County Clerk.
Thinking of Eloping or having "just" a Justice of the Peace type of ceremony?? Not a problem. Just let me know if you would like me to officiate for you at the Tigard office or a park, etc.
Beautiful Same Sex ceremonies are also available. Obviously, you would only be "legal" in your own hearts and souls.
Lovely Memorials are a wonderful way to celebrate the life of a loved one who has passed on. People or pets.
Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me for more information on any of these ceremonies.
