The Marriage License


Let’s talk about what is probably the number one question I get from brides and grooms. “What do we have to do to get a marriage license?”

First of all, you can obtain one in any county in South Carolina and it is good in any county. This means, you can purchase a marriage license in Greenville and get married in Charleston. It also means you can shop around for the cheapest price. Greenville is a few dollars cheaper than Charleston, by the way. Each county can charge a different price for the license. Currently the cost of a license in Greenville is $35.00.

Another important piece of information, is that currently in South Carolina, marriage licenses do not expire, so you can purchase one any time before your wedding. Both you and your fiancé must apply together for the license. They only take cash for payment. They do not accept checks.

You must have a photo id (driver’s license) and Social Security Card. If you are under 18 years of age, you will have to have your parents’ consent.

There is a twenty four hour waiting period from the time you and your fiancé apply until you can pick up the license. After the twenty four hours only one of you has to return to pick up the license or it can be mailed to you.
