marriage license

[rachbel 2]

hi All,

Last day we got married at the courthouse, and what i couldnt understand is what was written on on the notice of purchase; A public marriage license is valid for a period of 910 days from the date it was issued. So what does it means ? is that mean we can file the AOS only after we make it valid?Thanks for any explanation.

As long as it is signed by a justice of the peace it will be ready to submit with your AOS paperwork.

If it's like Illinois, it's just a marriage license (permission to marry). Whoever marries you (judge, etc) signs the marriage license and then it's returned to the courthouse and then you get the marriage certificate. That's how it works in IL though.

When we were married at the courthouse in South Carolina, the justice of the peace signed the marriage license and gave it to us, so that was the marriage certificate we used to file AOS. Different states handle it differently.
