FAQs
Can we marry the day we obtain and submit our marriage license application?
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.

In Multnomah County, Oregon United for Marriage is planning to host a venue in Portland on the first day same-sex couples are able to wed. We’ll have officiants, photographers, and flowers on hand to make this historic day a special one for you and the person you love.
How long does the marriage license stay valid?
Licenses are valid for 60 days after they are issued. You must get married within 60 day or you will have to reapply and pay the fees associated with the application process.
If we were married in another state or country, can we get married in Oregon?
No. If you were legally married in another state, you do not need to marry again in Oregon. However, many couples may opt to renew their vows, and celebrate their marriage being fully respected here in Oregon.
