Town/Park Service Information for Beach/Lighthouse Weddings.

There are many fabulous locations on the Outer Banks to hold your wedding ceremony. That’s why it is one of the East coast’s most popular destination wedding sites. Of course, some of the most popular sites are one of our beautiful beaches or many lighthouses. You should be aware that depending on the location of your ceremony, the use of the beach or lighthouse property may be regulated by a government agency. So be sure to contact the town or agency in which your ceremony will be performed to check out the requirements. I have listed below contact information for most of our area agencies:

Obtaining A NC Marriage License

03 Apr
April 3, 2012

OBTAINING A MARRIAGE LICENSE

In North Carolina, the bride and groom must obtain a marriage license prior to their marriage. A license can be obtained from the Register of Deeds office in any North Carolina County. You do not have to get the license in the county in which you plan to get married. You should contact the Register of Deeds office where you plan to get your license prior to going to the office to determine the necessary information and documentation required. The license costs $60. There is no waiting period after you get your license, but it is only valid for 60 days.

Our two local Register of Deeds offices on the Outer Banks:
