You are not required to change your name when you marry. You may change your last name to your spouse's last name or combine the two last names. If you decide to do either of those, you may also change your middle name to your surname prior to the marriage.

One of the most important legal changes that occurs when you get married is the acquisition of ?marital property?. Whether it is a house, boat, car, television, or just a coffee mug, any asset that is acquired by either spouse during the marriage may treated as a marital property in a divorce.

You must be 18 years old to get married in Oregon without a parent's permission. You can get married at age 17 if: 1) you have written permission from a parent or guardian, or 2) neither parent lives in Oregon and you have lived here for six months in the county where you are applying for the marriage license.

When issuing the license, make sure all signatures in Items 25, 26, and 28 are complete. Upon return of the license from the marriage officiant, review all entries about the marriage ceremony and register the marriage. Be sure to sign and date the marriage form (Items 34 and 35).

Oregon has a three-day waiting period before a ceremony can take place after a license has been issued. However, this waiting period may be waived by a county clerk for ?good cause,? and some counties charge a $5 to $20 waiver fee.
