Please make note of the following procedures:
1. First, the couple applies for a marriage license with a South Carolina Probate Court, which issues 3 copies of the marriage license. *Please note that a South Carolina Notary may ONLY perform marriage ceremonies in the state of South Carolina.
2. The couple and the notary must sign all 3 copies. The spouses should sign using their legal names regardless of whether they intend to change their names after the marriage ceremony.
