Do we need a marriage license before the wedding in Iowa?

Yes. Marriage licenses are issued by the county (usually the county clerk), and rules on waiting periods, expiry dates and fees differ by state and county. Check the website of the county where you will marry a few months ahead.

Plan ahead with the wedding checklist, the budget calculator and the best time of year to marry.
