Couple the beautiful natural chapel of the Smoky Mountains with the relatively minor requirements for getting married and you understand why a Smokies wedding and honeymoon is second in popularity only to Las Vegas. Couples can be joined in holy matrimony in a chapel, the National Park, or the privacy of their cottage or cabin.
Marriage License Information
Both parties must be present to obtain the marriage license from the County Clerk's Marriage License Centers (see below). There is no waiting period and an appointment is not necessary to obtain the license. Proof of age is required by a driver's license, state-issued picture ID, a valid passport or certified birth certificate, and a blood test is not required. The clerk will also ask for your SS# (not your card) and if you have been divorced, the date your divorce was final (you do not have to bring your divorce papers). Once your license is issued, it is valid for 30 days. The County Clerk will only take cash in the exact amount.
