Noblesville Marriage License Requirements
Both applicants must appear together at the Hamilton County Clerk's office in Noblesville. Indiana law under IC 31-11-4-3 requires that both parties appear in person at the same time.

Your Social Security number is required on the application.
If either applicant was previously married, you need to show proof that the marriage ended. A certified copy of the divorce decree or a death certificate for a former spouse are the standard forms of proof. The clerk's staff will review these when you come in.
