Marriage Records, Voter and Elections Information

To get a marriage license in Lorain County, you must meet certain criteria. Here’s a detailed look at the essentials:

1. **Age Requirement**: Both applicants should be at least 18 years old. If one or both are under 18, they must fulfill additional stipulations, including parental consent and court approval.

2. **Residency**: At least one of the applicants must be a resident of Lorain County. If neither individual is from Lorain County, you should apply for the license in the Ohio county where either of you lives. If neither of you is an Ohio resident but you want the marriage to happen in Lorain County, you can still apply there.

3. **Identification**: Both parties need to present a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Additionally, bring your Social Security numbers, although the Social Security card itself may not be required.

4. **Previous Marriages**: If either person has been married before, you must provide the exact date of the divorce or the spouse's death, and possibly additional documentation.

5. **Fees**: There’s a fee for the marriage license, and it’s typically due at the time of application. The fee may vary, so check beforehand for the current charge.

6. **Waiting Period**: Unlike some jurisdictions, there is no waiting period after the license is issued, meaning you can marry immediately if desired.

7. **License Validity**: The marriage license is valid for 60 days from the date of issuance. If you don't get married within this period, you'll need to reapply and pay the fee again.

By ensuring all these requirements are satisfied, you can successfully obtain a marriage license in Lorain County.
