Do you have to make an appointment to get married by a judge?

Me and my boyfriend live in KY and would like to get married before I leave for basic training this November. We were wondering if you had to make an appointment to get married by a judge.Do you have to make an appointment to get married by a judge?
Yes, you have to call your local court house and make sure a judge is there, to perform the cermony, that is all you will have to do. It is quite simple. My man and i did it this past July 1st...Do you have to make an appointment to get married by a judge?
I'm not sure about KY, besides some states the laws vary from county to county...





but in CO the procedure is this:


1- you go to the DMV to get a marriage license (costs $10 cash)


2- you call the courthouse and set up an appointment time with a judge to be married, the appointment time must be within 30 days of recieving the license or the license expires, and usually they can make an appointment for within a week so you don't have to worry about an expired license too much


3- you show up on the day of your appointment with the judge, show up early to fill-out paperwork, then pay a fee ($50 cash for civilans, free for those with a military ID)


4- the judge preforms the ceremony and you're married


5- the judge mails out a certificate saying that you're married to the local county records office


6- two weeks later the records office mails you back your offical marriage certificate


7- you can use the marriage certificate to change your name on your drivers license, state ID, and social security card by first going to the DMVs office then to the social security office





you really need to call your local courthouse and ask them what the laws are in your county:


some states require you to have a blood test done before you can get married, other states are varied on where you can get the marriage license
Different judges have different ways of doing things. Just call the clerk of court where that judge is assigned and ask. You will be told what to do.
Just call the courthouse and find out.
no go to your local court house and tell them what you wanna do and good luck
Yes you do.
YES!
Yeah most of the time
