How much does a marriage license cost in Oklahoma?

The standard fee for an Oklahoma marriage license is $50. However, if you present an original certificate showing completion of a 4-hour premarital counseling program, the fee is reduced to just $5.

Is there a waiting period for a marriage license in Oklahoma?

For adults aged 18 and older, there is no waiting period to get married in Oklahoma. You can receive your license and marry on the same day. There is only a 72-hour waiting period if one or both applicants are 16 or 17 years old.

What are the requirements for the Oklahoma premarital counseling course?

Under Title 43 O.S. § 5.1, the course must be a minimum of 4 hours long. It must be conducted by a licensed health professional, an authorized religious representative, or a certified marriage educator. You must present an original signed certificate to the Court Clerk.

Will the Oklahoma Court Clerk accept a printed PDF certificate?

No. Oklahoma Court Clerks are very strict and require an original, physically signed certificate. That is why Cadenza Counseling physically mails you a notarized, original document with a live signature to guarantee it is accepted at the courthouse.

Are there different versions of the Oklahoma premarital course available?

Yes. Cadenza Counseling offers four fully-approved variations of the 4-hour course to match your values: a Standard secular track, a Faith-Friendly track incorporating Christian principles, an Inclusive track for LGBTQ+ and modern couples, and a fully translated Spanish (En Español) track.

Oklahoma Marriage License FAQs

Is there a waiting period to get married in Oklahoma?

If both parties are 18 years of age or older, there is no waiting period in Oklahoma. You can receive your license and get married on the exact same day. (Note: There is a mandatory 72-hour waiting period if either applicant is 16 or 17 years old).

How long does the premarital course take?

Oklahoma law strictly requires a minimum of 4 hours of premarital education to qualify for the fee reduction. Our online course is self-paced, meaning you can log in and out, but you must accumulate 4 hours of coursework before your certificate is generated.

Why is my certificate mailed instead of emailed?

Unlike some states, Oklahoma Court Clerks mandate that you present an original, physically signed document. They will often reject printed PDFs or photocopies. To protect you from being turned away at the courthouse, Kristen Franzen personally signs, notarizes, and mails your original certificate via USPS upon course completion.

What do I need to bring to the Court Clerk?

To get your marriage license and discount, both parties must appear in person at an Oklahoma Court Clerk's office. You must bring valid photo identification (such as a driver's license, passport, or state ID), the $5 cash fee, and your printed original certificate of completion from Cadenza Counseling.

Do we take the course together or separately?

You take the course together! The $17.49 fee covers both you and your partner. You will go through the relationship building exercises and communication skills as a couple, and one joint certificate will be issued with both of your names on it.

Are all four course variations accepted by the state?

Yes! Whether you choose the Standard, Faith-Friendly, Inclusive, or Spanish track, your 4-hour curriculum is fully compliant with Oklahoma Title 43 O.S. § 5.1 and guarantees your $45 license discount.
