How to Apply for a Marriage License

You may apply in person for a marriage license Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. except legal holidays. You can apply online any time, but in order to complete the online application process, both applicants must go together to the Court between the hours listed above, with any additional required materials mentioned in these instructions.

At least one of the applicants must be a resident of Pickaway County and the marriage must be performed in the State of Ohio. If both applicants are from out of state but wish to be married in Pickaway County, they must obtain their license in Pickaway County.

Picture Identification is required. (Driver’s license, passport, photo ID)

NO Blood Tests are required in the State of Ohio

Ohio Residents must reside in Pickaway County and have proof of residency. (Proof can be valid license, rent receipt or other proof as requested by Court)

Both parties must be over the age of 18 to apply without parental consent. Applicants under 18 must meet other requirements, according to the State of Ohio, prior to applying for a license and should contact the court for requirements.

Previously married applicants need a final decree of divorce, judgment entry, or order granting their divorce, dissolution or annulment from their last prior marriage. This paperwork must contain the following items: Case Number, date granted (not necessarily same day you were in court), and name of parties. If the divorce occurred in Pickaway County, the information can be obtained from the Clerk of Court’s office on the 2nd Floor of the Courthouse prior to applying for the license. If a previous marriage ended in the death of a spouse, a death certificate is required.

LICENSE IS VALID FOR 60 DAYS and can be used anywhere in the State of Ohio by Pickaway County Residents. Pickaway County residents marrying in other states must obtain a license in that state and should contact that state for their requirements.

Out of State residents MUST be married in the county where they obtain the marriage license. Both parties must be from out of state.

Cost of the license is $60. We accept cash, debit or credit card (MasterCard or Visa)

We issue marriage licenses Monday through Friday starting at 8:00 am and stop issuing them at 3:30 pm
