Making it Official: The Marriage License
Requirements and Fees
Lane County's official page can be found here, was last reviewed May 2007 and states the following:
Marriage licenses are issued between the hours of 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday.
Oregon state law requires that applicants be at least 17 years of age to obtain a marriage license. Applicants who are 17 must have parental consent. Consent may be in the form of a notarized statement from a parent, or a parent must be present with the applicant to sign a consent form.
A witness is not required to apply; however, you should be prepared to present proof of age on request. A driver's license or birth certificate is adequate for this purpose. Neither a medical examination nor a blood test is required. If either party is divorced, the date of the final decree is required.
The cost of the marriage license is $60.00, which is non-refundable. The license is effective three days after the date of application. The license is valid for 60 days after the effective date and may be used anywhere in the State of Oregon. To waive the three day waiting period, applicants must appear in person to complete a waiver request form. If a waiver is approved, the $4.00 waiver fee and $60.00 marriage license fee must be paid in cash.
Deputy Clerks are available to perform civil ceremonies by appointment only at 9:00 AM, 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, Monday through Friday at the Courthouse. The fee is $25.00 and the couple is responsible for providing two witnesses. You may schedule an appointment for this service when applying for your license.
