How do I get a married in Arizona?
To get married in Arizona, you must first obtain a marriage license and then solemnize the marriage through a wedding ceremony. Marriage licenses can be obtained by filing an application at a County Clerk’s Office and paying the appropriate fee. Some justices of the peace, city clerks, and town clerks can also issue marriage licenses, but this varies by location. The license is good throughout the state for one year, so you do not need to get married in the county where the license was issued.

Are there additional requirements for covenant marriages?
Couples who wish to enter a covenant marriage must complete the same steps required for a regular marriage license as well as receive premarital counseling from a minister or marriage counselor prior to applying for a license.
