Who issues marriage licenses in Indiana?
Marriage licenses are issued by the County Clerk’s Office in all 92 of Indiana’s counties. While the process for applying for a marriage license varies county to county, generally if you or your spouse-to-be is a resident of Indiana, you must apply for the license in the county where you reside. If neither one of you is a resident but you are planning on marrying in Indiana, you must apply for the license in the county where the wedding will occur. You need to apply in person, and most counties require that you and your spouse-to-be apply together. For more information, check with the county where you will be applying for your license.
