Previous Marriages: You will need to show your divorce decree, or have information regarding date, county and state of death of previous spouse. Waiting Period: 48 hours. Fees: $35 - $60.00 cash or credit cards. Varies from county to county. If you have completed a state recognized pre-marital preparation course, you may receive a discount on the license fee. Other Tests: No blood test. Under 18: Parental consent is needed if under 18 years of age.
