Broomfield's Marriage License Process

Broomfield’s Clerk and Recorder office has been flagging limited walk-in capacity due to staffing shortages, so book through the online portal rather than showing up and hoping. It’s a small, single-office county (the “City and County” designation just means Broomfield handles both city and county functions from one building), which keeps the process simple once you have a slot.

Where to go

George Di Ciero City and County Building, 1 Descombes Dr, Broomfield, CO 80020. Open 8:15 AM–3:30 PM, Monday–Friday, excluding holidays.

Book ahead, don’t count on walking in

Broomfield’s marriage certificates page currently states that walk-in service may be limited due to staffing shortages, which makes the online booking portal the reliable path rather than a fallback. Book a slot ahead of time if your travel dates are fixed. If the booking link throws a 403 error in your browser, try opening it in a private or incognito window instead.

Fill out the pre-application first

Broomfield offers an online pre-application form: complete it before your appointment, then finalize everything in person. See how to fill in the license application for the general tips that apply here too, including entering your country manually.

If you don’t have a Social Security number

Broomfield provides an Affidavit of No Social Security Number for applicants without one, alongside a separate Absentee Affidavit for the narrow cases where one partner qualifies to be absent entirely (see can someone else go to the appointment for who actually qualifies). The form’s own signature block confirms both options: a County Clerk and Recorder Deputy can sign it if you appear in person, or a Notary Public if you don’t. See the SSN affidavit, explained and where to find a notary if you need one.

What it costs

• License fee: $30, same as everywhere in Colorado.
• Certified copy of the certificate: $1.25, same as the statewide standard.
• Cash, check, or credit/debit card are all accepted. The county’s site doesn’t publish a card surcharge, but most other Colorado counties on this site charge one, so a surcharge is more likely than not; ask when you book rather than assuming card is fee-free.

While you’re in the area

Broomfield County Commons Park, a roughly 300-acre park with walking trails, a pond, and sports fields, sits a short drive from the county building. It’s a modest, easy stop if you have time between your appointment and the rest of your day, not a destination in its own right.
