Documents which you are required to present or complete:

• Baptismal Certificate – A current copy of the baptismal certificate that is issued within six months and notated from the Church of Baptism (for Catholics only) must be provided. A certificate, affidavit, or some other form is needed to confirm if the groom or bride, who is not Catholic, has been baptized in another Christian denomination. The baptismal certificate for the Catholic(s) should reflect the dates and locations of when the other sacraments of initiation (First Communion and Confirmation) were received. If not noted, a certificate confirming the Sacrament of Confirmation should be obtained.
• Marriage License - A legible copy of your current marriage license must be presented front and back.  One must be obtained from the issuing authority (county clerk's office) if the current marriage license is not available.
• Previous Marriage – If either the groom or bride has been married previously, copies of the marriage license, divorce decree, nullity decree, or death certificate, as applicable, must be provided as soon as possible. Additional forms and documents may be requested depending on the facts of the previous marriage.  All previous marriages must be disclosed.
