A marriage license is a legal document that authorizes a couple to marry. In Texas, you must obtain a marriage license from the county clerk’s office in the county where the ceremony will be performed. To apply for a marriage license in Texas, you will need to provide the following information:
- Your full name and date of birth
- Your Social Security number
- Your parents’ full names
- Your current address
- Your phone number
- Your email address
- The name and address of the officiant who will perform the ceremony
- The date and time of the ceremony
- The county in which the ceremony will be performed
You will also need to pay a fee for the marriage license. The fee varies from county to county, but it is typically around $70. Once you have submitted your application and paid the fee, the county clerk will issue you a marriage license. The license will be valid for 90 days from the date of issuance.
