Obtaining a Marriage License
- by Stephanie
We get this question all of the time, so we thought we’d share some information on how to obtain your marriage license here in San Antonio.
Where you need to go:
Bexar County Clerk’s Office, 1st floor
300 Dolorosa, San Antonio, TX 78205
Phone: (210) 335-2221
When you can get it:
Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
What you’ll need to bring:
- Proof of age and identity (i.e. Driver’s License, Miltary ID, Passport)
- Social Security card
- $36 cash (they do not accept checks or credit cards)
- If you have been married previously, a copy of your divorce decree
Important things to remember:
- 72 hour waiting period after you obtain license before you can get married
- Only good for 30 days
- Must have present at your ceremony (this might sound like a no-brainer, but it’s happened before!)
