Our society also requires this union to be legalized through some legal documents.

If you are planning to get married then you’ll find the following wedding legal aspects checklist and tips helpful.

  • Prenuptial (premarital) agreement (optional)
  • Post nuptial agreement (optional)
  • Marriage license (payment fee) - you need it before the ceremony
  • Marriage certificate (more like a remembrance)
  • Name change (optional)
  • Mutual and married will
  • Proof of termination of any prior marriages by death, divorce or annulment
  • Ceremony with witnesses and a person recognized by the state (priest, rabbi, judge)
  • 1 or 2 witnesses might have to sign the marriage certificate (depending on state)
Tip #1: You can apply for your marriage license at the local town / city clerk’s office. Sometimes you even have to file in the county where you plan to get married. State and county marriage license requirementes may differ from each other. You should check all legal requirements with your local marriage license office or county clerk.
