Summer is the Season of Wedding Bells

Over a third of all weddings occur in the summer. That means we’re well into wedding season and you’re probably well aware of this when you’ve spent several weekends a month at friends’ and relatives’ weddings. Maybe you’re even one of the lucky ones who are engaged and getting ready to marry the love of your life. While it’s easy to get focused on the details like flowers, centerpieces and seating charts, make sure that you do not ignore the legal aspect of weddings as well. You will need to obtain a marriage license, but that can sometimes be easier said than done. Sometimes there are other documents required to be granted a marriage license, and if you don’t have them you might find yourself racing to track them down.

Birth Certificate

You might not be aware of this, but certified copies of your birth certificate are required for many aspects of your wedding. First, some states require that you present an official copy of your birth certificate when you apply for a marriage license. Additionally, if you are planning to change your name, you will also need a copy of this, as well as your marriage license. When you visit the DMV to change your name on your license, you will be asked for your birth certificate, as well as your marriage license. The same is true when you head to the Social Security Office to request the change there as well. With Certified Field Agent, you don’t need to stress if you cannot find a copy of your birth certificate.

Divorce Decrees

For those who have had the unfortunate experience of going through a divorce, that might also follow you to your new marriage. In some states, if you have been previously married, you will need to present an official decree of divorce before you are granted a marriage license. If you unfortunately cannot find this official document, you will need to locate it quickly. This can be stressful and if you are in the midst of wedding planning you might not have the time or patience to deal with it. That is why Certified Field Agent can be your go to. If you give us the information required, we can ensure that you have all of the documents needed to be granted your marriage license in time for the wedding.
