Greenville SC Marriage License

No matter what state you live in, the marriage license must be from the state in which the ceremony is performed. Therefore, you will need a South Carolina marriage license.

For a SC marriage license, you can get one from any county in the state. You can obtain this at any time as it does not expire. We recommend using either Greenville County or Charleston County Probate offices. We will link and tell you the rules of these 2 counties. If you prefer to use another county, you will need to check with that probate court as each county has its own price and required documentation.

The main consideration is the 24 hour waiting period. If you apply for your license at 2 pm on Thursday, you cannot pick up your license until 2pm on Friday. The probate court is closed on weekends and many holidays.
