Every bride and groom who wishes to embark upon the marriage journey together must first obtain a marriage license to lawfully do so. In order to receive the marriage license, both of you must go in person to the county office which handles marriage licenses. In some counties the Treasurer’s Office oversees the marriage license process while in others it is the County Recorder’s Office. If one of you is a resident of North Dakota, you may apply anywhere throughout the state. However, if you both are not residents, you are obligated to apply in the county where the ceremony will take place.
