THE LE GAL S TUFF

Applying for a marriage license at the
Georgetown County Probate Court can be
simple. Though South Carolina’s law requires a
24-hour waiting period before the issuance of a
marriage license, all paperwork will be properly
completed and recorded.
Couples can apply together, in person
at the Probate Court. The fee is approximately
$40 [cash, check or money order] and if
applicants are between the ages of 18 and 24,
a copy of one of the following is needed for
both the bride and groom: driver’s license,
military I.D. card, Selective Service I.D. card,
valid passport or visa, or certified copy of a
birth certificate.
Only one person is needed to pick up the
official marriage license prior to the wedding,
which must be held in South Carolina. If under
18 years of age, please contact the court for
additional information.
