Officiates must file the marriage application within 30 days of the ceremony. It is our policy to file applications the same or following postal pick-up day. A certified copy of the filed license application is required by insurance companies and Social Security. Counties charge for a certified copy and fees may vary by county. The license fee is $60 in most counties but is still $50 in Polk county.
