Marriage Licenses Correction


A marriage license does far more than allow you to marry. You need it to change your surname, qualify for spousal benefits - such as inclusion on your spouse's group health insurance or survivorship rights - and establish that your marriage meets all legal requirements established by the state. It's important that the marriage license is accurate. If you discover an error, you can ask the court for an order to correct that error using the forms and instructions below.
