Couples can apply, pay for license through new
website
Applying for a Yellowstone County marriage license is now more
efficient. The Clerk of Court’s office launched a service in March
that allows couples to apply and pay for a marriage license
online.
Yellowstone County previously required applicants to apply in
person using a paper form only available in the Clerk of Court’s
office. Couples had to spend a minimum of 30 minutes in the office
to complete the required paperwork, and the County recommended
making an appointment.
Now, citizens can complete the application electronically and
pay the fee online with a credit or debit card from a computer or
any mobile device. The final step is to stop at the Clerk of
Court’s office to pick up the finalized license. The new electronic
process reduces the amount of time citizens must spend applying for
a license, increases the accuracy of the data and creates
efficiencies for the clerks.
“My hope is that the service will be of great benefit to couples
who both work during standard business hours and find it difficult
to make time to both come to the office,” said Terry Halpin,
Yellowstone County Clerk of District Court. “Additionally, with
parking downtown always an issue, this service will help alleviate
that concern as well.”
Couples must provide the same information when applying online
as when filling out a paper application. Citizens must enter
their:
- Birth city, county, state or foreign country.
- Social security number.
- Father’s full name, state or country of birth, current city and
state of residence.
- Mother’s full name, state or country of birth, current city and
state of residence.
- Dates of previous marriage dissolutions or spousal death and
the county/state of occurrence (if applicable).
To apply for a marriage license online, visit
https://app.mt.gov/marriage/ and choose Yellowstone from the
drop-down menu. Couples can also apply online if they are planning
to get married in Big Horn, Missoula, Phillips, Powder River or
Sheridan County. Simply choose the desired county from the
drop-down menu. Once the license is issued, it is valid for 180
days.
