I live in VA, but we are getting married in St. Louis (my hometown!!).  Does anyone know anything about what legal stuff needs to happen for this to happen?  We are getting married in May and don't plan on going home again before that, is it possible to apply for the license online?  Anyone have experience traveling from out of town?  Also, how early should we have this taken care of?

Any and all help would be amazing! :)

Thanks!

Emily

I'm living in DC but originally from St. Louis too.

You don't need to worry about doing it super far in advance- you can do it the same week as the wedding as long as you do it a few days in advance.

You do have to present yourself in person, but it is quick and your license is valid for 30 days.

Here's everything you need to know:
