must be presented:
- A picture ID
- Social security card or another certificate
with your social security number listed,
such as a W2 form or old pay stub.
- Birth certificate if under 21
- Divorce papers (with Judge's signature)
The license is $50 and good for 60 days
after issuance. The Register of Deeds can
be reached at (252) 475-5970, 8:30 a.m.

office in Manteo on Driftwood Drive, (252)
475-9228. A marriage application can be
filled out at locations throughout the state
