To be married in the State of Indiana, a couple must have a marriage license. To apply for a marriage license in Indiana, both you and your future spouse must appear in person at the Clerk's Office in an Indiana county where one of you resides, or for non-residents in the Indiana county where the marriage will be solemnized. A marriage license is valid for 60 days from the date it is issued, and couples may be married as early as the same day. Couples who do not marry within the 60 days must apply for a new license before marrying.
See Indiana Code 31-11 for more information about state marriage laws.
You will also be required to provide your Social Security Number, although your Social Security Card may no be required.
If you were previously married, you will need to provide the date your marriage ended. In addition, some counties require a certified copy of the divorce decree.
Indiana Code section 31-11-6-1 provides information on who may solemnize a marriage. Currently there is no one at the Courthouse who performs marriage ceremonies, however there are business cards on the bulletin board at the Courthouse with individuals that will.
The marriage license fee is $25.00 if one or both parties are Indiana residents and $65.00 for out-of-state-residents getting Married in Morgan County. There is a $4.00 charge for certified copy. Each additional copy of the Certified Marriage License (required for name change at BMV, SSN, etc.) is also $4.00.
If you are eligible as outlined above, have all the necessary documentation, and you're ready to apply for a marriage license, you can apply at the Clerk's Office in the county where you plan to file.
While you will still have to appear at the Clerk's Office to complete the process and receive your license (as required by law), starting your application online will save you time at the Clerk's Office.
