State or foreign country where each person was born
Counties where each person lives
Social security numbers
The names the bride and groom want after marriage
If previously married, the date (mm/dd/yy) the last marriage was terminated
If previously married, the city, county and state where the marriage was terminated
If one or both parties have a felony conviction on or after August 1, 2000
$70.00* without premarital education
$20.00* with completed and signed Statement of Premarital Education Form (required at the time of marriage application)
Payment for license is payable at the time of application

*At least 12 hours of premarital education that included the use of a premarital inventory and the teaching of communication and conflict management skills be given by a licensed or ordained minister, a person authorized to solemnize marriages under Minnesota Statutes, Section 517.18, or a person licensed to practice marriage and family therapy under Minnesota Statutes, Section 148B.33.

In the state of Minnesota there is a five-calendar-days waiting period after you apply for the license before the marriage may take place. The license must be used within six months, and may be used anywhere in Minnesota.
