Marriage License

You do not have to be a resident of Georgia. However, if you are not a resident, you must apply in the county where the marriage is to be performed. If you are 16 or 17 years old, you may apply if accompanied by both parents who have given written consent.  If the bride is pregnant, a statement from a Georgia licensed physician certifying that the bride is pregnant is necessary. If underage applicants already have a child, they should present a certified copy of the birth certificate for the child at the time of application. If parental consent is not required, the court will notify parents or guardians that you have been issued a marriage license.   Legal officiants are licensed or ordained ministers, clergymen, or pastors of recognized religious societies, and justices of the peace. Georgia law prohibits same-sex marriages.
