Marriage license


My fiancé is in the Marine Corps and I'm worried about getting our copy of our marriage license before moving from Texas to NC where he is stationed. We will be getting married on a Sunday then I'll be moving to NC that following Wednesday, if all goes well. How long did it take to get your copy of your marriage license? Is there any way to get it faster than usual since we need it so I can get enrolled in DEERS and get my ID?

Re: Marriage license
So, check with the state/county office where you got your license, and just make sure that you list your mailing address as your new, NC address. It's highly unlikely you would be able to get a copy before you move, though.
To receive official copies of our marriage certificate I had to order them and it was 8-12 weeks to receive them by mail.
What do you need it for?
I was able to use the portion of the marriage license for some things, but other things (like changing my name on my health card and driver's license) required an official copy of the certificate.
I would ask your officiant though, as (s)he should have experience with at least the license in your state (i.e. do you get a portion to keep, how long does it take to register, etc).
