North Carolina Wedding License Requirements
Applications are accepted at Register of Deeds offices M-F, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm. Times may vary by county.
Both Bride and Groom must be present when applying.
$60.00 cash payment due at time of application.
No physical exam or blood test is required.
Immediately upon issuance, the license is valid for 60 days.
Regardless of where your wedding is actually held in the state, you may use a license issued at any NC Register of Deeds office, but the license must be returned to the issuing office for filing. Usually this is done by the minister who performs the ceremony
Divorced applicants must provide the date of their divorce and some counties will request an original or certified copy of the Divorce Decree. Because not all counties are uniform in their requirements, it is recommended that you call the office at which you intend to apply to learn of their specific requirements before you go.
Likewise, should either the bride or groom not be American citizens, it is best to call the office at which you intend to apply for your license to learn what paperwork will be required.
21 years of age or older may use;
current driver’s license
current State ID Card
current Passport
current Military ID
20 years of age or younger must have a certified copy of their Birth Certificate.
Both Bride and Groom must provide their Social Security numbers with verification through their Social Security Cards or W-2 Forms.
