Marriage license
One errand in Doylestown, ten minutes away.
A Bucks County marriage license costs $60 and is issued by the Register of Wills & Clerk of Orphans' Court, 55 E. Court Street, Doylestown, PA. Both applicants must appear in person, together, with valid photo identification.
Self-uniting licenses
Pennsylvania is one of the few states that allows couples to marry without an officiant. With a self-uniting license, the two of you marry each other — you and your witnesses sign the license, and that is the ceremony. The fee for a self-uniting license differs from a standard one, so confirm current fees and requirements directly with the county before you go.
We are not able to give legal advice, and county requirements can change. The Register & Clerk of Orphans' Court is the authority on your license.

There is a three-day waiting period.
Pennsylvania holds every marriage license for three full days after you apply. You cannot apply the day before your ceremony. This is why our calendar will not let you book a date less than five days out.
