Roswell Marriage License Requirements
Both people must appear in person at the Fulton County Probate Court. No proxies or representatives allowed. Each person needs to be 18 or older. A 17-year-old may apply only with proof of legal emancipation.
You will need a valid form of photo ID:
- State-issued driver's license or ID card
- Certified birth certificate (original, with English translation if foreign)
