Marriage Licenses

Requirements

• Both applicants must be at least 17 years of age.  You cannot marry in Nebraska if you are under 17.
• Parental consent required for applicants who are 17 or 18 years of age.  The Parental Consent form is available at the County Clerk's office.
• One form of identification is required (i.e., drivers license or passport).
• Birthplace of the applicants.
• Full names and birthplaces of both parents.
• Social Security Numbers for the applicants.  Applicants without a Social Security Number must complete a form provided by the Clerk asserting that they do not have a Social Security Number.
• Applicants having a previous marriage must provide the date that marriage ended (i.e., date of divorce decree or date of death).

Please Note

• No blood test is required.
• Licenses are good for one year from date of issuance.  Therefore, applicants must be married within that year or they will need to apply again.
• A couple may apply for their license in a Nebraska county and use it to be married in any other Nebraska county.
