Since Covid the City Clerk’s Office doesn’t allow “walk-ins” anymore. For the time being, you will receive your Marriage License by appointment only. The "walk-ins” might resume at one point but at the time of this recording everything is by appointment only.
Today we are going to show you what it looks like to secure an In-Person marriage license interview with the City Clerk’s Office on the Project Cupid website.
First, you’ll connect with the project cupid website at nyc.gov/cupid.
Here is the screen that will come up. Now, make sure to click-on the “In-Person Interview Appointment”.
You’ll see at the top of the page a drop-down menu for the various office locations around the city.
For this example, we select the Manhattan office but you can go to any City Clerk Office in the 5 boroughs of New York. If there are appointments available, they will populate under the available dates and times.
In-Person appointments are released right at 9AM EST every Monday morning. We chose to record the video on a day that multiple appointments are available so you can see what it will look like to book a specific date and time. But make sure you are in front of your computer, ready to go at 9am. These appointments will go fast.
Pick the date and time that works best for you, specifically a date when both you and your partner are physically in the state of NY. You also need to pick a date and time that is at least 24 hours before your wedding date.
So we have our date and time and then we click next.
You enter your first and last name for Spouse A, phone number and email address. Then you do the same for Spouse B.
Click next to review all your information, the date, time and location of your appointment. This is where you can edit anything that needs adjusting.
Once you click next you get a confirmation that your marriage license interview has officially been schedule. It will pop up on the screen and each of you will get an email with a confirmation number and a detailed rundown of what you need to do and bring for your marriage license interview.
Now, if you book our "ALL-IN-ONE" elopement package, this video doesn't apply to you because Team Reinking will have taken care of all of this for you.
Keep your eyes open for another video where we will show you how to book a VIRTUAL marriage license appointment with the City Clerk’s Office.
And there you have it - the nitty gritty of booking your “in-Person interview appointment” at the City Clerk’s Office in New York City.

Such a helpful video, thank you! In this example, were you on the website at 9am exactly on Monday to secure the time slots for your couples? I’m getting married in September after a 2 year delay and trying to be super organised with this to ensure we get our in person appointment as we are only in NYC a day and a half before the wedding from Scotland 😊 Also, is it not possible for us to obtain license virtually from the UK as we aren’t physically in NYC? Any word on when they’ll revert to walk ins again? Any other clerk offices up state or in Long Island that accept walk ins as a back up option? Thanks for your help.
Yes, you have to be online at 8.55am on the Monday for in-person or 8.55am on Thursdays for virtual appointments. For either appointment you have to be in the state of New York. You couldn't do a virtual appointment from overseas. There are other Clerk Offices out on Long Island and upstate that offer the same service but we don't have a lot of experience with those to tell you the truth as the method we describe here as worked (so far) for 100% of our couples. No word yet when they will go back to walk-ins. We have the feeling the appointment method will stay for good. But that is just our opinion and can change any time. :) Good luck!
Could you make a video on how to book an in-person marriage ceremony at the Clerk's Office? Specifically, I'm looking if you already need to have the marriage license in order to book the ceremony or can you just book the marriage license then book the ceremony 24 hours after that. My soon-to-be spouse would be flying from another state so we don't have a lot of time in between marriage license appointment and marriage ceremony.
You can make an appointment for the ceremony at the Clerk's Office without having the license.
Hi which do you book first the licence app. Or the marriage ceremony
The license appointment.
Thank you so much for this! How far in advance can you/should you book the appointment?
Go to the MONDAY of the week you are getting married and then count 3 Mondays back. That will be the Monday appointments become available for your wedding week.
Thanks a million for this video
If I want to get married in July 2nd when can I can start the process please ?
@@weed-leinejasmineelie6862 Go to the Monday of the week you want to get married and count back 3 Mondays. That should eb the Monday your in-person appointments become available.
Ugh I guess I should have done this last week they don’t tell you this online all they say is 24 hours or some crap I’m getting married May 6
@@ashleywgillett8515 Yeah, the City Clerk is not very forthcoming with these information. That's why we do these videos. :) Keep checking back every day. Sometimes people cancel their appointments and then they pop up for a minute. You also could go to one of the upstate Clerk Offices.
the first paragraph under the requirements states you "Must" complete the application with the city clerk trough a link provided in the same poaragraph, is that necessary or optional?
You apply for your marriage license and schedule your appointment through the 'Project Cupid" website. Is that what you are asking?
How many witnesses can you bring to the ceremony is it still only 1
Yes. At the moment only the couple and one witness is allowed for ceremonies at the City Clerk's Office.
2:28 when i click submit it says my workflow email needs to be verified i dont know what to do
Glad that you commented this. In the same boat and was beginning to think we were going crazy or it was some issue with the connection to the portal on our end.
"Error: Default Workflow User Email has not been verified. Please verify the address or set the Default Workflow User to a user with a verified email address."
We're gonna try calling our local bureau office tomorrow and go from there while in between hoping perhaps someone on the back-end who manages the server / website does their job since if it's an issue for us it's also probably an issue for many others and considering this is the primary means to book an appointment, having it glitch out with no viable alternative is a huge problem and needs to be fixed ASAP.
It looks like there might be a bug on the City Clerk's end. I would wait a day or two and then try again. These things have happened before unfortunately.
@@JackieandSascha and i called and they said we would have to wait for the systems to go back up and had the craziest additude ever 🤦🏻♂️
@@alexmorel6819 THt sounds about right. :)
Hi, I just scheduled an appointment for the marriage license. Do I then schedule an appointment for the ceremony? I did call and ask but they weren’t that helpful. I’m a little confused.
Hi Jillian. Correct! If you would like to get married at the City Clerk's Office then you have to make another appointment for the ceremony. If you would like to get married with an officiant then you would contact that officiant. Hopwe that makes sense.
@@JackieandSascha thank you 😊
@@TheMsgodiva Anytime!
On project Cupid there is an optional for marriage license and marriage ceremony . My fiancé is from NY but recently moved to Alabama for work before we had back to Alabama officially we want to get married civilly in NY. If we do the marriage ceremony option can we get the license and get married certificate at the same time ?
No. You need to make one appointment for the marriage license and a separate appointment for the ceremony at the Clerk's Office as there has to be 24 hour between receiving the license and the ceremony. You also could use an officiant for the ceremony outside of the Clerk's Office. The same 24 hour waiting time applies there as well, though. Hope that makes sense.
@@JackieandSascha thank you ! Yes that makes sense! 311 told me I could do the marriage license online and get the confirmation number and bring that to the wedding ceremony in civil court and that they can issue the license and the certificate at the same time do you know if this is true ? If not, If I go inperson for the license will they issue it that day ? So I can get married next day ? If I do it online I still need to
Come in for the license correct ? Please help thank
You !
@@kikicardenas6048 Are you trying to get married here in the city? You can't get your license and your certificate the same day. There definitely has to be 24 hours between receiving your license and the ceremony. You can't get the license and the certificate at the same day. And yes, when you go to your interview appointment (in-person or virtual) you will receive your marriage license right there. Either as a print out if you have an in-person appointment or by email if you have an online appointment.
@@JackieandSascha hi yes , my fiancé and I are native
New Yorkers. I’m making the big
Move out of state in July… just to confirm if I get the license on a Friday , I can have a private officiant marry us on a Sunday ? You’ve been more help than 311 lol they literally read every word from the website which really is no help !
@@kikicardenas6048 Correct. You could even get married on the Saturday as long as there are more than 24 hours between receiving the license and the ceremony. If you are looking for an officiant I'm sure Jackie would love to be considered. :) www.JackieReinking.com
How many days for marriage certificate pls thanks
I don't think I understand your question. Can you please clarify what you are asking?
@@JackieandSascha how long to receive a marriage certificate after ceremony thanks you
@@ItsTefanny In average you eil receive the marriage certificate 6-8 weeks after the ceremony. Sometimes it happens faster, sometimes it can take a bit longer.
I logged on exactly 9am and it was no appointments
Ashley, you might have been on the wrong tap. Did you look for virtual appointments by any chance? We booked 3 in-person appointments for our couples this morning at 9am when the time slots became available.
Omg where I am struggling currently out of the country on my way back to NY scheduled to get married May 6! Can't get the appointment to pick up the license I registered for
@@ashleywgillett8515 Yeah, the only chance you have now is to keep your eyes open for cancelations or to drive upstate or out to Long Island to apply for a NY license.
Im so happy I got an appointment we just randomly checked and it was one available for virtual and we got the license in 15 minutes whew this had me beyond stressed. Thank you for the guidance it was extremely helpful
@@ashleywgillett8515 That is great news! We are glad you got your appointment and that our videos helped you. :) Have a wonderful wedding.
In order to book a ceremony via project Cupid I need to input a licence number is this the number generated when you book your appointment? I.e ML017TS
The license number is located at the top right hand corner of your marriage license under the "ISSUED" category. For example, the license number will be M-2023-XXX. The city clerk wants you to have secured your marriage license before you book the ceremony because it's required for you to bring the marriage license with you to the ceremony.
The number you have listed is your application confirmation number.
@@JackieandSascha thanks for the useful video. So this implies that you cannot book an in-person marraige ceremony until you have physically received your licence number. Is that true? For couples who are eloping from abroad this seems a bit risky, no? You are relying on booking an available marraige ceremony appointments the following day after receiving your licence, which is no guarantee. Project cupid surely allows couples to book a marraige ceremony appointment before the marraige licence appointment has happened. Eloping couples can then be rest assured that they arrive in NYC with a licence appointment and marraige appointment in the diary.
Hopefully I'm making sense!
When scheduling a marriage ceremony, in the 'additional information' section at the bottom it asks if you have a marraige licence issued by the city. There is an option to click 'no'. Presumably you can put in the future date and location of when the marriage licence appointment is?
@@joshuachan660 Basically, they want to know that you are coming to the ceremony with a marriage license. You can select 'no' and then put in an arbitrary date and borough that you obtained a marriage license. The system will then let you submit the request for the marriage ceremony. However, be aware that you will be required to have your marriage license in hand for the ceremony. They will not issue a marriage license on the same day in order for you to get married there. You have to do all the work and arrive with the marriage license to your ceremony.
@@JackieandSascha ok, thank you.
So you can click 'no' and as long as the date/location of the licence appointment is at least 24hr before the selected ceremony appointment everything is ok then!
That way you will have your licence for the ceremony.
Hope that makes sense.s
@@joshuachan660 Yup.
