Both the bride and groom must be present and produce "Proof of Identity" and age documents, such as a driver's license, resident card, etc. Applicants must be unmarried. A previous marriage is valid until the final date of dissolution. Written proof of a divorce or the dissolution of a previous marriage is required, if the event occurred within the last two years or less.
