Marriage Licenses Obtaining a marriage license is the most important step in commencing your lifelong union. Hassle-free, quick, and inexpensive, marriage licenses can take a matter of minutes to process. Be sure to call ahead of time to confirm hours of operation and verify whether the county courthouse is accepting appointments. Also, if your plans entail a simple civil service, many county courthouses have on-site officiates who can marry you and your fiancé immediately after the marriage license has been processed; again, you will want to call ahead to confirm officiate availability. Whether you're getting married in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, or Gatlinburg, there's a license center near you. Obtaining Your Marriage License You can purchase your Tennessee marriage license for $36 at the County Clerk's Marriage License Centers (prices are subject to change). Applicants need not be residents of Sevier County to get married; there is no waiting period or blood test required. You can get married on the same day that you receive your license. Requirements: Both parties must be in attendance. Proof of age is required, either by a valid driver's license, a valid passport or certified birth certificate. Couples may also bring a valid Tennessee marriage license from anywhere in the state of Tennessee, but licenses are only valid for 30 days after their issue. If you have been married before, you will also need the month and year of your divorce, or the date of your deceased spouse's death. If applicants are under the age of 18, either parents or legal guardians must sign the marriage certificate. The County Clerk only accepts cash in the exact amount.
