Can someone other than the couple pick up the marriage license when it is ready?

After the bride and groom have applied for the marriage license, they can only pick up the license or the child of the individuals listed on the marriage license (with birth certificate and valid ID). This is the document that is needed before the wedding. However, whoever picks it up is responsible for reviewing the license to ensure all information is correct.

Once the license is sent to the health department after the ceremony, the bride or groom can pick up the marriage certificate when it is ready or a child of the individuals listed on the marriage certificate with a copy of there birth certificate and valid ID.
