What to Expect:

1. COMPLETED PACKET – PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Once we receive your completed packet (refer to checklist) by email, we will print and review your documents;
we do our best to review everything the same day it is received. We will email you to let you know we have
everything we need and will provide payment instructions.

2. PROOF APPLICATION – SUBMIT APPLICATION – DELIVER APPLICATION

When payment has been submitted, we will receive notification. We will retype your information into the online
marriage application and email a copy to each party for review. Once you have approved the application, we
will send one more proof for your approval. When the final proof has been approved, we will submit your
application online and will deliver your paperwork to our attorney.

3. CLERK OF COURT’S OFFICE

You will receive an email notifying you when the attorney has approved your paperwork and it has been
delivered to the Clerk of Court’s office. Once the paperwork has been delivered to the Clerk’s office, the
timing is out of our hands. They are currently taking 3-7 business days to issue licenses.

4. MARRIAGE DATE
When we receive the license from the Clerk’s office, depending on your marriage date request, we will:

a.) complete your marriage on the same day we receive the marriage license
b.) email you to let you know the marriage license has been issued and will await notification of a date you have
chosen
c.) email you to let you know the marriage license has been issued and confirming the date we have scheduled on
our calendar

5. CONGRATULATIONS!
When you receive your email of congratulations, you will receive a scanned image of the license and
certificate. This is not a legal copy of your marriage license as it still needs to be filed and recorded with the
Clerk of Court’s office.

6. CERTIFIED COPIES
We return the original, gold seal marriage license to the Clerk of Court’s office and it takes them 3-5 business
days to create the certified copies. We do our best to email a scanned image of the certified copy as soon as it
is received. We mail hard copies the same day or the next business day depending on when we receive them.
The certified copies are the legal copies of your marriage license and certificate. They are photocopies with
stamped seals and clerk’s signatures. They are used for changing name, status, etc.

7. ORIGINAL MARRIAGE LICENSE AND CERTIFICATE

When your gold seal, decorative original marriage license and certificate are recorded and returned to us, we
will contact you to obtain an address for sending it. The gold seal, decorative original is NOT to be used for
legal purposes as it can be altered without record.

Checklist of Items for Proxy Marriage Application

Notarized Applicant 1 or Groom’s Affidavit

Notarized Applicant 2 or Bride’s Affidavit

Applicant 1 or Groom’s Marriage Application / Contact Form

Applicant 2 or Bride’s Marriage Application / Contact Form

One (1) Notarized Limited Attorney-Client Engagement Agreement

One (1) Double Proxy Marriage Contract

Photocopy 1 proof of identity for Applicant (1) and Applicant (2)

• For active military members, we can accept a copy of a recent LES, orders, an Enlisted Record
Brief or some other official document proving your active military status.

• For the non-military party, we can accept a copy of a driver’s license, passport or birth certificate.

Three of the forms require a notary; a notary is a person registered to verify your identity – the documents will need to
be signed in their presence. The best way to find a notary is to ask around; many legal offices on base will have a notary.

You can print the documents, present them to a physical notary, sign in front of them and have them notarize the
paperwork. Please scan the completed documents or take clear photos and email them.

OR

You may find it helpful to use an electronic notary instead. Here is a list of accepted electronic notaries in the state of
Montana:

• Notarize.com
• NotaryCam.com (can provide international notary services for non-U.S. citizens)
• SafeDocs.com
• DocVerify.com

Electronic notaries will have you upload the documents, digitally sign and will digitally notarize the necessary forms; you
can then email the electronic version to us.
