Marriage Licenses are easy to obtain in Tennessee.  There is no waiting period and no blood test required.  Simply appear in person at any County Clerk's office, or one of the Marriage License Centers in Sevier County.  Both parties must be present in person.  Proof of age is required by a valid driver's license or, another state-issued I.D., a valid passport, or certified birth certificate. If your Social Security number is not on your driver's license, you will need to bring your Social Security card.  You do not have to be a resident of Sevier County to get married here.

Couples may also bring a marriage license from any county in the state of Tennessee.  Licenses obtained in any other state (outside TN) are not valid in Sevier County.  Remember, licenses are only valid within thirty days from issuance.  (If the marriage is not solemnized within 30 days from the issue date, it becomes void.)   If applicants are under age 18, both parents or legal guardians must sign the marriage certificate.

No appointment is required at the Sevier County License Centers.  Effective July 15, 2002 the price of a marriage license in Sevier County  is $98.50.  However, if couples complete an affidavit of non-residency or of having participated in a premarital preparation course, the cost is $38.50.   Only in cash in the exact amount is accepted in Sevier County.  If you have any questions, you can call the County Clerk's Office at 865-453-5502.
