How to get married in the US as a visitor

To get married in the US as a visitor, follow these general steps:

  1. Obtain a Marriage License: Visit the local county clerk’s office in the state where you plan to get married. Both parties typically need to be present and provide identification. Check the specific requirements for the state you’re in.
  2. Plan the Ceremony: Arrange the wedding ceremony according to your preferences. You can choose to have a civil ceremony at a courthouse or a religious or secular ceremony at a venue of your choice.
  3. Find an Officiant: A wedding officiant is required to legally perform the ceremony. This could be a judge, justice of the peace, minister, priest, rabbi, or other recognized individuals, depending on your religious or personal preferences.
  4. Witnesses: Some states require witnesses to be present at the ceremony to sign the marriage license. Check the local requirements.
  5. Marriage Certificate: After the ceremony, the officiant and witnesses (if required) will sign the marriage license. The officiant then files the license with the county clerk’s office, and you’ll receive a marriage certificate.
  6. Remember that marriage laws can vary by state, so it’s essential to research the specific requirements of the state where you plan to marry. Additionally, immigration laws might be impacted by getting married on a visitor visa, so it’s a good idea to consult with an immigration attorney to understand any potential implications.
