Hello everyone!

I was wondering, when you did your civil wedding ceremony at city hall, what documentations did they require from you and your fiance(e)?

Please provide a full list of what he needs to bring with him so that I can have my fiance get the necessary documents over in VN before he arrive in the states...

After reading some of the posts...I've heard horror stories about beneficiaries not having proper documentation, therefore, the ceremony was delayed in the states... :unsure: Thanks for your help!

Check with the city hall where you will marry. That is the best source of information. Things can vary state by state.

In NYC, a marriage license + passport / US ID. That's it. Plus bride&groom. But as the previous poster said, you have to check with the city clerk's office of the state you are planning to marry in.

Good to know! I"m in California, so anyone from Orange County, who had their civil wedding ceremony performed already and know the documents we need, please let me know. Sometimes people who have the experience know more than those who work at city hall... :lol:

Hi Andy,

Can you please let me know how did you file the marriage application online? I tried to fill in the application directly from the Orange County Clerk REcorder's website, but it wouldn't allow me type in anything??? Thanks so much! :help:
