Called 2 times and visited once, was given different information each time and the guy who would give me the information was rude after he himself would constantly contradict himself with the information he would give me.

Antoinette Berry | Oct 4, 2019
M G (Aria) | Oct 4, 2019

No; however, you MUST have a Philadelphia marriage license. They will not accept licenses from other counties or municipalities. Since the Philadelphia City license is $80-$90 compared to $40-$50 in surrounding counties, you can pretty much consider the difference in price to be the officiant's payment.

Is marriage license and marriage certificate the same

Amir O Kareem | Oct 4, 2019
M G (Aria) | Oct 4, 2019

No. You need the license to get married and it will be signed by you, your officiant, and a witness. You send that back to city hall and then they provide you with the certificate staring you've been married.

Can I turn in a marriage certificate with out my S/O being there (self uniting marriage)

Do you waive the 3 day wait if your military on leave

Donald Mann | Oct 4, 2019
M G (Aria) | Oct 4, 2019

I think so! But what that means is they give you the license immediately, but it won't be valid until three days later, per the date stamped on it. It is good for 60 days. In Pennsylvania, you can also buy something called a "self-uniting license". Though it also isn't good until three days later, you don't need a judge or clergy to sign it -- just you, your spouse, and two witnesses. It's because there's a large number of Quakers in Pennsylvania and there's no ordained clergy in their church. They cost ten dollars more, but are a good option if your schedule is difficult to work around. You and your witnesses could even potentially post-date them, but you should ask the courthouse about that.
