MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUANCE DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS
Marriage ceremony arrangements should be made prior the submittal of an application for marriage license.
Pursuant to Executive Order No. 2020-42, all non-emergency applications for marriage licenses in Kalamazoo County will be processed by mail.
Please allow up to 2 weeks for mailing time and document preparation.
In accordance with MCL 551.103, applications for marriage licenses are required to be done in person before the County Clerk or other person duly authorized to administer oaths. Due to the restrictions placed on our office at this time, in person transactions “not necessary to sustain or protect life” are extremely limited.
Michigan law grants notaries public the ability to administer the oath required for a marriage license application. Beginning immediately, our office will accept marriage license applications by mail when the application has been properly notarized.
