If either applicant has been previously married, you must provide proof of how the marriage ended, such as a certified copy of a divorce decree or death certificate of the former spouse. Additionally, individuals divorced in Oklahoma may not marry anyone other than their previous spouse for a period of six months after the divorce decree is filed. 
Oklahoma law does not require a premarital blood test.
If either applicant is not a U.S. citizen, you may need to provide additional documentation, such as a passport or permanent resident card, to prove legal presence in the country.
You’ll need to complete the marriage license application form, which is typically available at the county clerk’s office.
