Marriage License Information for Alabama
850-426-3590.
Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are currently only processing marriage certificates by mail. These beaches are in Baldwin County. Follow the instructions below.
An Alabama Marriage Certificate form represents a contractual agreement between the parties to the marriage, completed by both parties and delivered to the probate court for recording.
Once properly completed and recorded, the marriage is valid. A wedding ceremony may be performed for the parties, but solemnization is no longer required for a recognized marriage in Alabama.
After the form is completed and notarized (list of notaries at the bottom of the page), the parties will submit the form and $73.00 filing fee by mail within 30 calendar days to the Probate Office in Bay Minette for recording.
The 30 day period for recording the document in Probate Court commences when the last party executes the document. Your document must be legible and all requested information must be provided. Incomplete information or forms containing white-out or other corrective marks will not be accepted. It is the responsibility of the parties to ensure the accuracy of the information provided.
Your fee is $73.00 which includes one certified copy. You may mail your certificate and payment (money order or cashiers check made payable to Judge of Probate) to the address below. Please include a return address. No business or personal checks accepted. Contact us and we can send you a link to the forms.
