What You Should Know - Courthouse Wedding in Philadelphia
-
Don't jump into planning your courthouse wedding just yet! Look into what your local area requires first. This could involve things like how long you have to live there, any waiting periods, and how much you'll need to pay. For instance, in Philadelphia, you can't get married at the courthouse unless you apply for a license at least 3 days in advance. Both of you need to be there to apply, and it might cost a little bit.
-
Before saying your vows, obtaining a marriage license is the first step. We've made it easy by outlining the process:
Visit any Philadelphia County Courthouse.
Present the required documents (proof of ID, Social Security number, etc.).
Pay the service fee (currently $50).
Wait three days before the license becomes valid.
-
Research first, and snag an appointment fast! Courthouse weddings fill up quickly, so book in advance (usually online or by phone). Don't forget to gather the required documents beforehand to avoid delays.
For a courthouse wedding, you will typically need to provide valid identification, proof of age, and, if applicable, a divorce decree. It's important to ensure that all documents are original or certified copies. Organize all the paperwork in a folder for easy access on the wedding day.

Courthouse weddings offer a beautiful simplicity for your big day. Ceremonies typically last 15-30 minutes, officiated by a judge or justice of the peace. While the format is streamlined, some judges allow personalized vows or special touches. Remember, space is limited, so check the maximum guest allowance beforehand.
