Getting married in Ohio!

Question

We are planning to go to Ohio to get married at the courthouse! Do we have to bring witnesses?

Answer 1

You will need to make an appointment with the presiding judge.  They only have particular days & hours they perform ceremonies.

Prices vary for the marriage license.

Judges charge various prices as well.

If you're coming near Cincinnati/Dayton give me a shout.

No waiting period-- license issued immediately

License good for 60 days

No blood test or physical exam required

Both must apply in person.  

Each needs a picture ID.  This can be a State ID, a valid

driver's license, a passport, or a visa.

If divorced, the divorce decree must be brought at the time of

applying.  In the case of multiple divorces, the last decree is all

that's needed.

**If you are an Ohio resident, you must apply in the county in

which you reside.  This allows you to be married anywhere in

Ohio.

** If you are not an Ohio resident, you must apply to the county

in which you plan to be married.

** No witnesses are needed for the marriage.

Answer 2

Um..... no, I don't think so.

Answer 3

Congratulations! Each county has different requirements. Check this website and search the county you want to use. May God bless your marriage, in Jesus name.  

Answer 4

No problem. The court people can witness your marriage. But I think you just can't show up there and get married. There must be some formalities that you have to complete before hand.

Answer 5

call the county clerk or city hall and ask

Answer 6

There should be someone there who can witness for you.I do suggest take a camera so someone can take a few picks for you on your Special day,Congrats!

Answer 7

No you do not. You typically have to call and schedule an appointment with the mayor and he will read you your vows and sign your marriage certificate.
