How To Get Married in Oklahoma: FAQs
Alright, lovebirds, since we can't answer your burning question with "download the app," here are some other helpful tidbits:
- How long does a marriage license last in Oklahoma? You have 60 days to tie the knot after you get your license. So no time for cold feet, although there's always the option to elope to Vegas in those 60 days. We won't judge (much).
- What documents do I need to apply for a marriage license? This one varies by county, so it's best to check with your local clerk's office. But generally, you'll need IDs and proof of Social Security numbers.
- Do I need a blood test to get married in Oklahoma? Nope! Oklahoma is all about getting straight to the "I do's" without any medical pre-reqs.
- Can I get married by someone other than a judge? You bet! Oklahoma allows authorized religious officials and civil marriage celebrants to perform ceremonies. Just make sure they're properly registered with the state.
- How much does a marriage license cost in Oklahoma? This depends on the county, but it's usually around $50. A small price to pay for a lifetime of (hopefully) wedded bliss!
There you have it, folks! Now you're prepped to get your license and get hitched Oklahoma style. Remember, marriage is a marathon, not a sprint, so pace yourselves. But hey, if you do decide to break the internet with a live-streamed pi�ata wedding reception, send us an invite! We love a good story.
