Getting a marriage license in Michigan? Here’s a quick guide! Apply 28 days before your wedding. Bring valid ID, birth certificate or passport, and Social Security cards. Check county requirements as they vary slightly. After a 3-day wait, you can pick up the license together. Don't write on it before the ceremony, and feel free to contact your officiant with questions.

By following these steps after the wedding, you'll ensure a smooth transition from your wedding day to your newlywed life. At Ceremonies by Sabra, I'm dedicated to making this process as easy and stress-free as possible for you.
