Marriage Licenses

Requirements for a marriage license

  1. Applicants must be at least 17 years of age. You cannot marry in Nebraska if you are under 17. 
  2. Parental consent is required for applicants who are 17 or 18 years of age.  The parental consent forms are available at the County Clerk’s office.
  3. One form of identification is required, such as a driver’s license or passport.
  4. Provide the full names and birthplaces of the bride and groom.
  5. Provide the full names and birthplaces of both parents.  (including maiden names)
  6. The bride and groom shall provide their Social Security Numbers, if they have one.  Applicants who do not have a Social Security Number must complete a form provided by the Clerk asserting they do not have a Social Security Number.
  7. If there was a previous marriage, we will need to know the date the marriage ended.  (Date of divorce decree or date of death).
  8. Marriage Licenses are good for one year from the date of issuance.  Therefore, they have to be married within that year, or they need to apply again.
  9. A couple may apply for their license in any county in Nebraska and use it to be married in any Nebraska county.

To be married by the County Court Magistrate you may call the County Court to schedule an appointment.
