Find out how to get married in WY
If you're getting married in the state of Wyoming you must first apply for a wedding license at any in-state county clerk office. These offices, some of which are referred to as the "marriage license bureau," are usually located in the county probate court or circuit court. This document outlines the requirements you must adhere to in order to get a valid marriage license that can be used statewide. Let's begin…
The marriage license fee is $25.00 dollars. Accepted forms of payment are cash.
There are none. You do not have to be a previous or current resident of Wyoming to obtain a marriage license that will be valid statewide.
There is no waiting period. You will receive your marriage license immediately after you submit your application.
No, you can get married immediately after your marriage license is issued.
Your marriage license will never expire once it's been issued.
This scenario wouldn't apply to you because, as stated above, your license will not expire once it's been issued to you.
You must be at least 18 years of age or older to marry without parental consent. A birth certificate may be necessary to show proof of age.
If either partner is under 18, parental consent forms must be signed. You will need a certified copy of your birth certificate. If you are under 16 you can not marry without a court order.
No blood test or physical exam is required.
If you were previously married, the date of your divorce or the date of your spouse's death must be provided. Bring a certified copy of the divorce decree or death certificate. If necessary, a copy of your divorce records or spouse's death certificate can be ordered from your local vital records office and mailed to you.
When you are married, you will receive a marriage certificate, which is a piece of paper proving that you are legally married. This document will serve as evidence of your marriage, which you'll need to complete the process of notifying several government agencies about your name change, as well as any non-government institutions that you do business with (ie, banks, employers, credit cards, memberships, etc).
There is an online marriage name change kit that you can use and complete before or after your marriage takes place. It's applicable for Wyoming or any other state in the union. Completing all the necessary name change documentation prior to your wedding is recommended in order to expedite the name change process.
A proxy marriage, also known as a "proxy wedding," is when one or both partners to be married are unable to physically attend the ceremony. The missing person, or persons, will have someone "stand in" for them and serve as their "proxy."
No, getting married by proxy is not allowed in Wyoming. There are actually only five states left that do allow marriage by proxy.
The term "common law marriage" refers to an informal marriage, based upon cohabitation and a mutual understanding by both partners, rather than getting married through a civil or religious ceremony. The latter, more common approach, would require an actual Wyoming marriage license.
No, common-law marriages are not allowed in Wyoming. This is unsurprising as only one-fifth of the country currently recognizes common law marriage.
No, cousin marriages are not allowed.
No, same-sex marriages are not allowed or legally recognized in Wyoming, nor are they recognized on the federal level.
