The state has replaced its former justice of the peace system with court-appointed magistrates. These officials may perform wedding services, but are often severely limited as to the times and places they can accommodate. Most major Christian denominations are represented on the Outer Banks. Many do require a special counseling period, and some have specific requirements regarding remarrying divorced persons. If you wish to be married in the Outer Banks Catholic Parish, you must meet with the pastor at least six months before the wedding.
Most Jewish couples bring a rabbi from their home temple.
For more information on local churches, see our Worship chapter. Of course you're going to need a marriage license. The Register of Deeds issues licenses in the county where the wedding will take place. If you're going to be wed north of Duck, contact the Currituck County Courthouse. Dare County encompasses Duck to Hatteras Village, including Roanoke Island.
