Choose a location Hi Alexis. You can't get married the same day you get your marriage license. There's a three-day waiting period. If you can't wait, you'll have to get a district court judge to waive the wait time.
You'll need to provide a good reason. Someone didn't read all the information before he decided to ask a question now did he? It is clearly stated above with the following example… "Get you license on Monday to get married on Friday" Sorry, Not Sorry.
Just saying! Hi Susanne. Your self-solemnized marriage ceremony would absolutely be recognized in other states and jurisdictions.
Technically, yes; but proving a "self-solemnized" common law marriage is difficult. Ask a family law attorney what you need to do to show a common law marriage. I got my marriage license already, assuming i do not need a specific ceremony what is the next step, do i need to go somewhere else another office, cityhall etc.. You need to go through with your marriage ceremony. After you're married have your officiant return your completed marriage license to the issuing recorder.
It must be done within 15 days following the ceremony. If you're presiding over your own ceremony yes, couples can do that in Iowa , you're responsible for returning your own license.
Hi Christina. If you're talking about a courthouse marriage, you'll have to get in touch with the judge or their staff.
Is it possible to get married in Iowa as a foreigner? I am from Czech republic, my partner is from Iowa and we're thinking of getting married there - I'd travel on ESTA when its possible again and go back home, then he'd start the CR1 visa process while i finish my bachelor's degree. Is a translated birth certificate and a passport enough? Thank you. Do we have to return the marriage license ourselves in person or can we have a family member do it while we are on our honeymoon?
I have a marriage license for Warren County, but the venue is in Clarke County. Can I use the marriage license from Warren County? Where can I use my marriage license? Your Iowa marriage license can be used anywhere in the state. It is only valid in Iowa.
My question is my son has asked me to officiate for his wedding. I'm just a Dad. I don't have any official officiant certificates although looking at different websites it looks like they can be easily attained. I see that couples can self solemnize in Iowa which I didn't realize. Can my son and his wife self solemnize their wedding even if I would be the officiant going through the ceremony with them or do I need to go through one of these websites to get an "officiants license" even though I don't agree with the ideas put forth on some of those websites.
Can my son and his wife self solemnize their wedding even if I would be the officiant going through the ceremony with them.
If I live in Warren county, can I get my marriage application through Polk county? And also if I mail in my application, do they mail the license back? If so, how long does that take? There's a three-day waiting period that starts when you application is received. It doesn't count the current day it arrives. You'll have to contact the Polk County Recorder for details on how much longer beyond the three days it might take.
Before going in to pick up your license, consider calling ahead to make sure it's ready. If I live in Iowa and my wedding ceremony is in Texas but we plan to live in Iowa, how should I handle this? Does she need to be present to file for marriage license or can we do it online?
Hi James. You'll need to apply for your marriage license in Texas, not Iowa.
