After the ceremony, the license must be returned to one of the County Clerk's offices within 10 days of the wedding for recording. For couples for whom I am the officiant, my services include the filing of your marriage license with the County Clerk's office on the first business day after the wedding.
Certified copies may be purchased approximately 7 - 10 days after recording, and cost $14 each.
