Bring a valid photo ID:
- State-issued driver's license or ID
- Original or certified birth certificate (English translation required if needed)

If either person was married before, you must bring proof that the prior marriage ended. This means a certified copy of the final divorce decree, annulment order, or death certificate. Without this, the court will not issue a license. Blood tests are not required. Georgia dropped that rule in 2003.
