Our of town bride - marriage license question

Anna, on August 26, 2019 at 4:12 PM Posted in Georgia Planning 0 10
Hello GA brides!
I tried to research it online but didn’t get any straight answers.
Anyone know if GA marriage license expires?
FH and I will be traveling to see our family (in the same town we are getting married Savannah GA) during holidays and were wondering if we can apply.
our wedding is not until September 2020 but we live in NYC and just wanted to get it out of the way.

thanks in advance!

    No clue. I would call the county office that you’re getting married in.

    Yea, looks like I’ll have to find the time to call.
    My work hours don’t match theirs since they open at 11 and close at 4pm. So I was hoping to find info online

    I couldn’t find it online for my county either. That would be helpful and cut down on their phone calls.

    Hi there Anna!

    According to this WeddingWire article (Marriage Laws by State), In Georgia, a license will not expire once it has been issued. This article was written in March of 2019, however, I would also recommend you reach out to confirm this with the county office encase anything has changed in the meantime. You never know Smiley smile

    Hi,

    Thanks so much for this info! We are still a year out so thankfully we have time. I'm going to call the county clerk today to confirm.

    Georgia’s marriage license never expires! I’m getting married in Savannah come November 30th and we went there back in June and met with a few people we’re working with and to also get our marriage license. Our officiant has one couple that had their marriage license for 9yrs and 364 days before getting married. Lol so you will be absolutely fine to get your marriage license when you go to visit.
