Getting a Marriage License in Upshur County: Fees, Waiting Periods, and Where to Apply

A marriage license in Upshur County costs $82.00 - unless you bring a Texas Premarital Education Certificate. With that certificate, the fee drops to $22.00.

The waiting period follows the same rule. Without a Texas Premarital Education Certificate, you'll wait 72 hours from when you apply before you can use the license. Bring the certificate, and that waiting period is waived entirely - helpful if you're working around a tight schedule.

Apply in person at the Upshur County Clerk's office: 100 Tyler Street, Gilmer, TX 75644.
