A marriage license can be amended only to correct an error (i.e., a misspelled name, incorrect date of birth or social security number). Proof for the correction must be in the form of a birth certificate or valid U.S. driver’s license that has a gold star (RealID). Both parties on the license must apply together in person, even if they are now divorced. If one party on the license is now deceased, an original or certified copy of the death certificate must be presented. If the couple want to change a name on the license, a certified copy of a court order directing the Clerk to change the name on the marriage record must be presented.
