Requirements of the State of Louisiana

Picture
_The Civil Government also has some requirements. Please obtain the marriage license from a Civil Parish Courthouse. Only one person need apply for the license; however that person must present copies of birth certificates for both parties (if you are under 18 your parents must sign their consent), a Social Security identification for both parties; if you have been married before, a decree of divorce, and $25.00 to cover the license fee.
IMPORTANT: The marriage license is valid for only thirty (30) days from the date of validity. There is also a seventy two (72) hour waiting period from the time of issuance before the license becomes valid and you can be married (unless a judge issues a waiver). It is advised that a couple purchase the license the week before the date of the wedding ceremony.
