If both parties are eighteen (18) years of age or older, parental or judicial consent is not required.  All documents regarding previous marriages must be presented to the Clerk for verification.  The license is issued immediately, but the marriage cannot occur until twenty-four hours from the time of issuance.  The license is valid for sixty (60) days.  The fee for the license is forty dollars ($40.00).
