Alabama Marriage Documents Notary Complete Marriage Document Services
You can not go to the courthouse and get a "marriage license" in Alabama. In fact, they would rather you not go there at all. The legal process changed in August of 2019. We are experts at managing the new process for you.
The State of Alabama is not interested in whether or not you have a wedding ceremony. The state is only interested in whether or not you file the marriage certificate correctly and pay the filing fee. ($73). We only provide ceremony serices through yourdreambeachwedding.com. Just ask for Steve as your officiant.
Handwritten Alabama marriage certificates are technically allowed, but almost never accepted. The state prefers they be typed, printed, notarized and filed according to very specific instructions.
Because your marriage certificate has to be signed by a Notary Public, there is no requirement for witnesses.
If you are having a ceremony and want your legal date to be the day of your ceremony, you must have a Notary Public certify your signatures on the marriage certificate that day. Even if it is Saturday or Sunday. As of May 18, 2022, the law specifies that ONLY Notaries Public of Alabama may notarize Alabama Marriage Certificates. This means the Alabama Marriage Certificate can only be validated within the borders of the State of Alabama.
No matter where you live, you may be married using the Alabama Marriage Certificate process. We are happy to legally marry couples from other states or countries.
Once you send us the information necessary to complete your paperwork, all you need to have with you at the signing is a photo I.D. You do not need to prove dates of divorces or have those papers with you.
Just text 251-709-5007 or email bamaweddings@gmail.com and we will set up an appointment to meet you for your signatures on the day of your wedding. A deposit is required to guarantee your date and time. Deposit can be made HERE.
We send you a list of questions (name, address, birthdate, etc..) that gathers the information REQUIRED by the State of Alabama for their documents. You can answer them at your convenience on your mobile phone if you like. It takes about 5 minutes.
We handle it all! You can relax and plan your wedding or marriage day knowing the paperwork, fees and filing are under control.
We bring your paperwork with us and notarize your signatures. You may sign separately (so you don't have to see each other on the day of your wedding). We can come to you anytime throughout the day that is convenient to you. Or, if you prefer, you can come to us in Gulf Shores.
We pay the $73 fee (which is included in our $175 total fee) and the Probate Office mails a certified copy of your marriage certificate to the address we provide.
That's all there is to it!
