Get a Marriage License in McLean County, ND
Here's what to expect at the County Recorder — fees, what to bring, and where to go.
up to $30.00 + $35.00the licence fee is capped at $30.00; the $35.00 is fixed
Two parts: a licence fee of up to $30.00 (N.D.C.C. 14-03-22(1) — a cap, which the county sets under) and a $35.00supplemental fee for the domestic violence prevention fund, collected “in addition to the license fee” (14-03-22(2)). McLean County publishes no figure; every North Dakota county page we read that gives one says $65. Call to confirm before you go.
Where to apply, and how long it lasts
Apply in the county where either of you lives or is temporarily staying, where a parent of either of you lives, or where the ceremony will be. The licence must be issued no more than 60 days before the wedding (14-03-10), and the ceremony may be anywhere in North Dakota (14-03-09).
A ceremony at the courthouse, and copies afterwards
The recorder or designated official may marry you: $30.00during courthouse hours (14-03-22(3)). Certified copies of the marriage record come from the county that issued the licence, at a price the county sets — the Department of Health and Human Services notes “the fees may vary from county to county”.
