Need a Georgia Marriage Licence? What you need to know

What You Should Know: 
  • When you arrive at the court, you'll need your driver's license, passport or birth certificate. If your identifying documents are printed in a language other than English, you'll need to hire a notary to type a certified translation.
  • If you've been married before, you'll need to present to the court your divorce decree.
  • Marriage license fees vary by county, and some counties require payment in cash only. Check the fees at your county probate court.
  • If you don't want to pay the marriage license fee, you can earn a premarital education program certificate - a six-hour class that reviews basic marriage lessons such as budgeting and conflict resolution.
