What if we don't want to wait 72 hours before we get married?
You can get the 72 hour waiting period waived by a judge's order. If you've obtained an order from a judge to waive the waiting period, please bring the order with you.

If you are active military or work for the U.S. Department of Defense, the waiting period is automatically waived. You must provide us proof of your active military status or employment with the U.S. Department of Defense when applying for your marriage license.
