You and your partner must be present at the same time to apply. Virginia does not require witnesses to apply for a marriage license. Make sure to bring all the necessary documentation and payment. In some circuit courts, parents or legal guardians of minors may be required to appear in person to consent to the minor's marriage. Check with your circuit court before applying. You must complete the application in the Circuit Court office where you are applying for a license. Read the application carefully to make sure that you have not made any errors. Even simple spelling errors for a surname change can be very difficult to correct once the license has been filed. Changes may require a court order. Some Circuit Courts may have an online "pre-application" for available. Pre-applying online will expedite the application process, but both of you must still appear in person at the Circuit Court to complete your application. The fee to apply for a marriage license in Virginia will vary depending on the Circuit Court at which you apply. Verify the fee and payment options ahead of time. The fee is not legally allowed to be more than $50. Some Circuit Courts may not accept some forms of payment, such as debit or credit cards. Check with your Circuit Court before going to apply. There is no waiting period to marry once you receive your marriage license. The license is valid for 60 calendar days. If you do not use the license to get married within 60 days, you will have to re-apply and pay a new fee. Most Circuit Courts do not offer refunds. Both spouses and an eligible celebrant (the person conducting the ceremony) must sign the license for it to be valid. Virginia does not require other witnesses to be present at the ceremony or sign the license. Eligible religious celebrants must be authorized by a Virginia Circuit Court prior to performing the wedding ceremony. Out-of-state ministers must present themselves and documentation of their ordination and pastoral appointment to the Circuit Court office. Online ordinations, such as those from the Universal Life Church or American Marriage Ministries, are usually not recognized by Circuit Courts. Religious individuals whose religious tradition does not have ordained ministers may be married by a person appointed by that tradition. Each Circuit Court maintains a list of appointed individuals who are eligible to perform civil marriage ceremonies. A non-religious celebrant may be authorized to perform a marriage ceremony by order of the Circuit Court issuing the marriage license. Your celebrant must sign and return the Marriage Register and the Marriage return forms (obtained at the Circuit Court office) within 5 days of the marriage ceremony. If the celebrant does not return these forms, Virginia will not have a record of your marriage.

Summary: Appear in person at the circuit court office. Fill out the application. Pay the requested fees. Receive your marriage license as soon as the application is complete. Verify the required signatures are on the marriage license after the wedding ceremony. Ensure that your celebrant returns the necessary forms.

One of the best ways for people with dyslexia to get organized is to simply use a calendar. Whether it's a large wall calendar, a pocket journal, or an app, using a calendar helps you remember important deadlines and dates as well as use your time efficiently. Don't just mark the date something is due, also mark the date you need to start, as well as any checkpoints in-between. Related to using a calendar, planning your day can help you use your time more efficiently, which can sometimes be a challenge for people with dyslexia. Think about the quickest and most logical way of doing things. This allows you to spend more time on tasks that take you a little longer. Prioritize your tasks so that you can make the best use of your time. Think about which tasks are urgent, important, or unavoidable as well as which tasks will be time-intensive for you. Make a schedule to help guide your day. Try to schedule things that require a lot of focus during your more productive times of the day. Remember to include short breaks in your daily plan to allow your mind to recharge and refocus. People with dyslexia often struggle with remembering things. Making lists helps you be more organized and reduces the number of things you have to remember, which can free your mind to focus on tasks that require more concentrated attention. Make lists of things you need to do, remember, keep with you, pick up, etc. Remember to refer to your lists throughout the day they won't do you any good if you don't. If you need to, make a master list of your other lists and refer to that one frequently.
Summary: Use a calendar. Plan your day. Make lists.
