What are the requirements for obtaining a marriage license in Pennsylvania?
To obtain a marriage license in Pennsylvania, there are several requirements that must be met. First, both applicants must appear together at the Marriage License Bureau to complete the application process. They must be 18 years or older, or have parental consent or judicial authorization if under 18. Valid identification, such as a driver's license or passport, is required. It is important to provide proof of dissolution of any previous marriages through divorce, annulment, or death. Applicants must also pay a fee, which varies by county. There is a three-day waiting period before the license is issued, and it remains valid for 60 days. Additionally, out-of-state residents may also marry in Pennsylvania, but they must marry in the county where the license was issued.
