Some city hall that has no required waiting periods, you’ll be able to get the marriage license and even get married on the same day. It is good choice for couples who don't want to wait.

Otherwise, some will make you wait anywhere between 30 to 90 days to get from a marriage license to the actual marriage.

And don't forget that there are expiration dates too. So ensure your scheduled wedding date isn’t later than that.
