"So easy"
"Relieved"

Can you get married at the Fort Worth courthouse?
You can! Judge Swearingin (yes, that's his real name!) performs marriage ceremonies every day at the Tarrant County Courthouse.
As a historical landmark in Fort Worth, it's also the most beautiful courthouse in DFW.
Do I need to have a marriage license?
Yes! You'll both need to appear in person (or schedule an online appointment) to apply for your marriage license.
After it's issued to you, you'll schedule your wedding ceremony within the next 4-89 days.
**You do NOT need a license to schedule your ceremony appointment date.
Do I have to set an appointment?
Yes - the courthouse holds marriage ceremonies during the week (M-F, 8:30am-4pm). Once you have your license, you can call to schedule your ceremony!
On the day of, you'll check in 30 minutes before your scheduled ceremony time.
Is family allowed to be there?
You're allowed up to 14 guests at the Tarrant County Courthouse.
FAQ
Do I need to pick a "witness?"
You do NOT need to bring a witness to your courthouse ceremony at Tarrant County Courthouse.
So if you want it just you two, that's perfect!
Can I have a photographer?
Yes, yes, and yes. The Tarrant County Courthouse and Judge Swearingin are very photographer-friendly.
They know how special these moments are and have always been so hospitable to me when we're "getting the shot."
Is there a specific place to park?
There is metered parking all around the courthouse for $2/hr. Even though the process is normally 1-1.5hrs (with photos and everything), I always set my parking for 2 hours in case the ceremony wait time is unexpectedly longer.
What all do I need with me?
On the day of your appointment, bring your:
☑️ Marriage License
☑️ ID
☑️ $100 CASH (No card!)
