Redact Legal Oklahoma Premarital Forms For Free

Under Oklahoma law provides that no one can get married or perform a marriage ceremony without first obtaining a marriage license from a judge or clerk of an Oklahoma district court to authorize the marriage between the persons named in the license.

All marriages must be contracted by a formal ceremony performed or solemnized in the presence of at least two adult, competent persons as witnesses, by a judge or retired judge of any court in this state, or an ordained or authorized preacher or minister of the Gospel, priest or other ecclesiastical dignitary of any ...

In general, bring cash to pay for your license. Checks, credit cards, and money orders are typically not accepted in most counties. It will cost $50 to get an Oklahoma marriage license. Couples who show proof of attending a state-approved premarital counseling course will be charged only $5 for a marriage license.

Premarital counseling is a type of therapy that helps couples take the next step in their relationship, resolve issues in their relationship before they commit to marriage, or set relationship goals.

Oklahoma statutes require that you spend a minimum of four (4) hours on the premarital course. Every premarital course offered anywhere in Oklahoma will require the same four hour minimum. The course material should take approximately two hours to read through.

You will be required to attend, pay for the course, and submit proof of completion to the court before your divorce can be finalized. This is a state mandated requirement. Otherwise, some couples who legally separate may choose to seek counseling, but it is not typically required outside of parenting classes.
