It is very easy to get a Tennessee marriage license. You can pre-apply online up to 30 days before your wedding. The bride and the groom must then go to pick up their marriage license at one of the Marriage License Centers in Sevier County. OR, the bride and the groom can go in person to one of the Marriage License Centers and fill out the form there with the help of an employee of the County Clerk’s Office. Learn more below.
