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”.
