​Marriage License

Bring your marriage license to the rehearsal or the ceremony.
Two witnesses will sign the marriage license immediately after the ceremony.
I will mail the signed originals to the appropriate office within 10 days.

I am a seminary graduate and duly ordained by a physical church (Not through the internet - which is NOT legal in the states of NC or Virginia). I graduated from Sancta Sophia Seminary and my ordination is through the International Council of Community Churches, so I am authorized to perform ceremonies throughout the United States and Internationally.

How to Obtain a Marriage License in South Carolina
Bride and groom must appear together and file a written application.  (The Application cannot be picked up)  This application contains the following  information:  Both persons seeking the contract of matrimony are legally entitled to marry together with the full name of the persons, their ages and places of residence.  This is a sworn statement that must be signed by both contracting parties and notarized in the office of the Probate Judge in which the license is to be issued.

There is a twenty-four (24) hour waiting period after the application is made before the license can be picked up and the parties can be married.

Applicants eighteen (18) years old or older DO NOT NEED PARENTAL CONSENT.  Applicants 18 years or older must present one piece of identification.  Identification may be one of the following:
  • A valid Driver’s License
  • Original birth certificate or certified copy of the birth certificate
  • A valid SC Identification Card issued by the SC Highway Department
  • Current Military Identification Card
  • A current passport
  • A Social Security card is required for EACH applicant.
WITH PARENTAL CONSENT, applicants must be at least sixteen (16) years old to be eligible to receive a marriage license.  Any applicant under the age of eighteen (18) years old must file an original birth certificate or a certified copy of the long form thereof, which becomes part of the permanent record of the application.
The parent or legal guardian of the minor applicant must appear at the same time as the minor to present identification and sign a form consenting to the marriage.​
