Texas-Dallas and Ft. Worth

Marriage License

Does anyone know if FI and I BOTH have to be present to get our ML? Also FI told me he thought he saw something online where you can get your ML online? Thru Dallas County. Has anyone done this?

TIA

    You don't actually do it all online.  It's like pre-filling out paperwork and then taking it with you to your appointment.  Both parties have to go.  There may special considerations for people in the military but I'm not 100% sure about that.  Also, when you go to the office, you have to take CASH.  They take no other forms of payment.

    Both people have to be present to get the marriage license, unless one person is in the miltiary (and I assume on active duty -- actually unable to appear) or in jail. You can find out the details on the absent application here.
