Hey ladies-
I know i've read a post about this earlier but I can't seem to find it in the search. FI and I are planning on getting our marriage license in the next month or so and we were wondering if there are better places than others to apply? can you go anywhere in MN to apply for your license? We would like to avoid taking time off work if possible but maybe some are open on Saturday. Thank you!!

[QUOTE]It totally depends on the county you're getting married in. I'm getting married in Hennepin County and am hoping that their service center across York from Southdale will be able to take care of us. I don't want to deal with the downtown office if at all possible.

</font><strong><font color="#800080">2 things: I don't think it matters where you get your license as long as it's in MN for an MN wedding??
also...glad you mentioned this location because it is about a 3 min drive from where I work so that could be very helpful.

There is also a link to where to find MN registrars by county. Just be sure you check the hours before you go- I know the Hennepin County service centers are not open past 1:30 on Wednesdays, which is a really weird time. HTH!

[QUOTE]FI and I are taking off a Friday and driving home to MPLS from IA to take care of this (among other things). I also have all of the paperwork printed off and filled out, so that we can be in and out of there as quickly as possible. We are getting married in Hennepin county and getting our license at the Southdale office. The only thing I wasn't sure of…and this is probably a dumb question, but at the bottom it says that FI and I must sign in front of a notary. Does that mean we need to get it signed first and then bring it in when we apply, or do we sign it in front of an office clerk at the time of application?

Don't sign it until you are up at the window -- you have to raise your right hand and swear all the information is true and accurate to the best of knowledge... etc then you sign in front of them.
