Marriage Licenses

No waiting period or blood test is required prior to issuance of a marriage license. In Kentucky, the bride and groom must be present to sign & swear to the information on the application. Information Required:

You may view and print a copy of the marriage application and complete prior to coming to the clerk’s office. Application must be signed and sworn before the county clerk issuing the license.
Age Requirements
You must be 18 years of age to be married in Kentucky without parental consent. Applicants 17 years old must have parental consent and the license issued in the county of residence of the underaged applicant. If applicants are under age, the application needs to be made in the bride’s county of residence. No one under the age of 16 may be issued a license unless they are pregnant and have a District Court Judge issue a court order directing the Clerk to do so.
