New Orleans Wedding License Getting married in New Orleans is easy and can be done as a weekend elopement or before a cruise leaving from New Orleans. Brides and Grooms are responsible for obtaining the marriage license from the State of Louisiana before the wedding ceremony. Either person may obtain the license from the State Office of Vital Records which is now open on Saturday, or other Parish Clerks of Court Offices. Identification is required along with authentic copies of birth certificates and any divorce judgments. In some cities there is a three-day waiting period from the time the license is issued, it can be waived by a judge. In New Orleans a Minister can also waive the waiting period for non-residents if good reasons exist. No medical tests are necessary. The license is good for 30 days. You must present the license to the person doing the ceremony in advance as it requires the minister to complete some portions in black ink and he must mail it back to the issuing office. You will get a complimentary certificate and instructions on how to order a certified one after the original is recorded. A ceremony must be conducted before 2 adult witnesses who also sign the certificates. The cost of the license is just under $30.00 paid to the State.
