Marriage License/ Application

Fee

The fee for a marriage license is $72.00 payable by cash or check with a driver’s license or bank guarantee card or credit card. If you are purchasing a license at the Justice Courts, they accept checks, money orders, or cashiers checks.

Instructions

A copy of a divorce decree is not required. No blood test is required. You may be required to provide a driver's license as proof of age. You will receive your marriage license and can be married on the same day you apply for it. An unused marriage license expires one year from the date of purchase. Both parties must be present to obtain a marriage license.

Requirements for couples who are getting married

• the parties were advised regarding the limited reasons for ending marriage by legal separation or divorce; and
• the parties were given a copy of the pamphlet, Covenant Marriages in Arizona, published by Arizona Office of the Courts (AOC).

Requirements for couples who want to convert their marriage to a covenant marriage

Couples who are already married may convert their existing marriage to a covenant marriage. It does not matter where their license was issued. Solemnization (a wedding ceremony) is not required to accomplish the conversion to a covenant marriage.

The cost

The cost for the Covenant License is $72.00, which is the same as the Traditional Marriage License.
