Weld County's Marriage License Process

Weld County issues marriage licenses from three separate offices, and every one of them requires an appointment booked by phone, not an online portal. The county’s own instructions specifically say to bring cash, which is worth knowing before you assume a card will work.

Where to go

• 1250 H St, Greeley, CO 80631 (main office) Open in Google Maps ↗ (opens in a new tab)
• 2950 9th St, Fort Lupton, CO 80621 Open in Google Maps ↗ (opens in a new tab)
• 4209 County Rd 24 1/2, Longmont, CO 80504 (“Del Camino” branch) Open in Google Maps ↗ (opens in a new tab)

All three issue marriage licenses 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, Monday–Friday, a narrower window than the county’s general office hours, so plan around the marriage-specific hours rather than the building’s full opening time.

Appointment required at all three

Weld County requires an appointment at every location; there’s no walk-in option anywhere in the county. Book by calling (970) 304-6530.

We couldn’t confirm whether Fort Lupton and Longmont take their own scheduling calls directly, or whether every appointment routes through the Greeley number above. Call that number first regardless of which office you want.

Fill out the pre-application first

Weld County runs an online pre-application portal; complete it before your appointment. See how to fill in the license application for the general tips that apply here too.

If you don’t have a Social Security number

The county’s page confirms an affidavit is required at the time of application if either applicant doesn’t have a Social Security number, without naming the exact form or confirming on-site notarization. See the SSN affidavit, explained and where to find a notary if you need to arrange that ahead of time. A separate absentee affidavit exists for the narrow cases where one partner qualifies to be absent entirely; see can someone else go to the appointment for who actually qualifies, since it’s a much narrower list than “couldn’t make the trip.”

What it costs

• License fee: $30, the statewide standard.
• Cash only. The county’s own marriage-license page tells applicants to bring $30 cash, without mentioning card or check as alternatives. Secondary sources suggest card may be accepted with a processing surcharge, similar to other Weld County services, but that isn’t confirmed for this specific fee. Bring cash to be safe, and call ahead if you’d rather pay by card.

While you’re in Greeley

The historic Weld County Courthouse (built 1917, 802 9th St), the county’s original courthouse building, sits a short distance from the current administrative office where licenses are actually issued. It’s a modest, walkable “while you’re downtown” stop, not the building you’ll actually visit for the license itself.
