So my fiancé and I are attemptimg to have a courthouse wedding.. I understand that we will need two witnesses and proper documentation... but how do we go about scheduling the appointment for our license and the actually ceremony with the judge.. we were applying on 9.14 and want the wedding to take place on 9.17! It's a bit of a rush but we're very ready.

Any information will be super helpful! Thank you

Its 8/29, why wait until 9/14 to apply? Call your local county clerk's office and ask what the procedure is. Each county sets their own procedures so you need to check with your local office for their procedures.

I called several times they weren't very informative.

Are you in the city of Pliladelphia? If so, this site should help you:

If not, where is Phil County?

Unfortunately, you will have to go by what the local clerks tell you. Have you told them why you need the information?

You shouldn't need an appointment to get the license. Is there someone else who could officate that you can get an appointment with?
