Marriage licenses are issued by the Clerk of the Virginia Circuit Court. There are no residency requirements to obtain a marriage license in Virginia. Couples may obtain a marriage license from any circuit court in Virginia. Once the license is issued, there is no waiting period, and no blood test is required. The marriage license is valid for 60 calendar days and the marriage must take place in Virginia. Discover the steps to getting married in Fairfax County so you can legally say “I do.”
