A courthouse (sometimes spelled court house) is a building that is home to a local court of law and often the regional county government as well, although this is not the case in some larger cities. The term is common in North America. In some other English speaking countries buildings which house courts are simply called "courts" or "court building".

The courthouse does not have a record of marriage license?
Q. I needed to get a copy of my Marriage license. I went to the courthouse record department in my county (the same county I got married in about 30 years ago) I looked under my husbands name and my maiden name and they had no record of it. What should I do? Why would they not have a record of it? Is there anywhere else I can look?

A. I'd talk to the clerk of court. County boundaries move, records are archived, things are stored differently

How would one go about with a courthouse marriage?
Q. How exactly is it done? What are the steps? I live in Washington state and was wondering how i would go about doing a courthouse marriage. I am not completely sure of the steps?

A. Hi there, I live in WA too! How cool. Just call your local courthouse (in the phone book) and ask them. Or better yet, call 211, and ask them! Or call a church and ask the pastor there. You still have to get blood tests and wait at least 3 days in this state but the marriage packet they mail to you from the courthouse or require you to pick up (I'm not sure which but you will at least need to sent a sase to them) will tell you step by step. It is not free, I know that...and some ministers will marry you for free if you take marriage counseling from them. If you pick a public park to marry in, that is free too! (don't know why I thot about the free stuff because that may not be a problem for you but hey...) Have fun!

How much is it to get married at the courthouse in Murfreesboro TN?
Q. My fiance and I would like to elope tomorrow to avoid the wedding drama and we were wondering how much it will cost in total for the marriage license and ceremony at the Rutherford county courthouse. The website said the license would be 100. I'm basically trying to find out the price of the ceremony.

A. Hi y'all, I'm in Nashville...right around the corner... best thing to do is call and ASK...also, you might need an appointment. I know the town halls (court houses don't marry people there) in Orange Country, NY (where I'm from originally) require an appointment to 'hitch' people. Yours may as well.
