Please PRINT a current address and daytime telephone number on the lower left section of the affidavit. This is very important for recording purposes at Pima County Superior Court.

Step 2.Go to Oro Valley Magistrate Court to apply for license

Both applicants must be present to obtain license.

Give cashier's check/money order, affidavit and any necessary papers to the clerk to process while you wait. 

Step 3.Marriage License Obtained

Your marriage license is valid anywhere in the state of Arizona and expires ONE YEAR from date of issuance.

Take the marriage license with you when you marry.

After the ceremony and marriage license has been signed, you will keep the top portion for your records and the officiant will mail the bottom portion to Pima County Superior Court for recording.

This is your marriage certificate. Additional or certified copies may be obtained from the Clerk of Superior Court (NOT Oro Valley Court).
