Congratulations on your decision to get married! Completing the process for your marriage license can be done in three easy steps:
$60.00 license fee is non-refundable.
You must meet these requirements in order to be considered eligible to apply for a marriage license. Blood tests and medical exams are not required.
Licenses may be obtained in any county in Oregon, and can only be used in the State of Oregon. No extensions of time or refunds of money are made once the license is issued.
There is a three-day waiting period from the day the license is purchased until it can be used.
If you wish to use the marriage license immediately, waiver request forms are available in the Josephine County Clerk's office.
Once the license is effective, it is valid for a 60-day period.
Once the marriage has taken place, and the completed marriage license is returned to the County Clerk, an official certified copy of the license can be obtained from the County Clerk for $7.75. Certified copies can be pre-purchased at the time of application at a reduced fee of $4.00 per certified copy.
A decorative marriage certificate will be provided. This is not a legal document and may not be used as proof of marriage. If an issued license is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced at the County Clerk’s office.
