Confidential Marriage License?

What's a confidential marriage license? 
It's a confidential record registered in the county where purchased; copies are only made available to the couple who wed unless a court order is provided.  This maintains a couple's privacy which is usually the reason for this type of certificate.  To obtain a confidential marriage license, the couple must: 
1)  wed in the county in which the license was obtained
2) be 18 years old and already living together--you'll need to sign an affidavit attesting to that fact. 


Only the officiant signs the certificate, no witnesses.  For details, visit your local County Clerk's website or office.
