What is the Difference Between a Marriage Certificate and a Marriage License?

When you decide to get married, you go to the . You fill out the form, show your valid ID, and pay your $58 (or $18 with proof of premarital counseling). You have your wedding ceremony and an officiant signs the license and returns it to the Douglas County courthouse.

Why You Might Need a Marriage Certificate

Marriage certificates are required by many companies or agencies that need verifiable proof before they can offer a service or product to you as a married person. Some examples might be:

Insurance companies, for medical coverage, death benefits, or other reasons that they would need to support a claim or change in policy.
Financial institutions such as banks or mortgage companies. This is especially important if you are changing a current account to include a new person. The marriage certificate supports the name change.
Social security or other government agencies may ask for certified copies to support a name change for benefits or account numbers.
When moving out of state, a person who applies for a driver's license, may need in addition to a certified birth certificate, a marriage certificate to support the name change on a new license.
Filing taxes under a new name could require a marriage certificate.
