Kind Words from Savannah

Legal Requirements

Georgia Marriage License — Savannah Elopements

Chatham County Probate Court ↗

Source: official county clerk

  • Cost$76
  • Waiting PeriodNo waiting period
  • Blood TestNot Required

Requirements

  • By appointment only: submit the application online, then book a time for both partners to come to court
  • Valid government-issued photo ID
  • $36 instead of $76 with a certificate from a qualifying premarital education program (at least six hours)
  • No witnesses or blood test required
  • Can marry the same day you receive your license

The $76 fee includes one certified copy of the marriage certificate, mailed to you once the signed license is returned for recording. It is paid at the appointment by cash, card (plus a 5% service fee), money order or cashier's check — no personal checks — directly to the Probate Court — Elopements Inc. cannot obtain or pay for the license on your behalf.

Important

The marriage license fee is paid directly to the county at the time of application — not to Elopements Inc. Both partners must apply for the license in person at the county clerk's office; we cannot obtain the license on your behalf. We walk every couple through the process step by step (where to apply, what to bring, when to go), but the application itself has to be completed by the two of you.

Georgia has no waiting period, so you can marry the day your license is issued.

What is the best time of year to elope in Savannah?
