Statewide Requirements:

  • All licenses are subject to a three-day waiting period before a ceremony may take place. Licenses are valid for 60 days after the waiting period. If you fail to perform the ceremony within 60 days, you must apply for a new license.
  • Both parties must identify on their application the legal names that they will be taking after the marriage. 
  • Medical examinations and blood tests are no longer required by the State of Oregon in order to obtain a marriage license. 
  • In general, both parties should plan to appear in-person and present a valid government-issued ID. 

You can fill out the application online in advance through many county clerk’s websites (note: when marriage becomes legal for same-sex couples in Oregon, the online application will be updated to allow same-sex couples to apply).

For the most up-to-date information, check the county's website or contact the county clerk's office directly.

Three-day waiting period may be waived for "good cause" but each county has its own requirements. Check with the county clerk for specific requirements.
