Can you get a marrage licence in one county and get married by a JP in a different county?

Question

Me and my Soon to be wife are trying to figure this out.

We are planning on getting our marrage licence in Kendell county and get married in Bexar county and the JP is from Bexar county. Does the licence also have to be from Bexar or from Kendell?

Answer 1

a quick search of the web indicates that the marriage license is valid state wide.  You can call your county clerk and ask... that's the fastest way to get accurate info.  Just make sure they get their license 72 hours before the ceremony.  

Answer 2

I don't think it matters....at least in most states. Google it and you should have your answer.BEst of Luck!

Answer 3

It depends on your state, some require a license in the specific county, others just require a license in that state.  

I'm getting married in Florida and they only require a license in the state, regardless of the county.

Just check with the state you are marrying in.
