Validity
60 days (effective after the 3-day wait)

In Oregon, marriage license fees are set by individual county clerks and vary by location. A representative fee is approximately $60, though applicants should confirm the exact amount with their specific county clerk's office before applying. The license becomes effective three days after application, though county clerks may waive this waiting period for an additional fee. Once effective, the license remains valid for 60 days. Two witnesses are required at the time of marriage.

The fee is representative. Marriage-license fees here are county-set and vary; confirm the exact, current amount on the issuing county clerk's own fee schedule. Informational only — not legal advice.

Where the fee is actually set

In most states the marriage-license fee is set by the county, not the legislature, so a single statewide number can be wrong for you. The license document itself is issued by the county clerk — that office’s own fee schedule is the authoritative source for the current amount and any waiting period.
