how long are ny state marriage licenses good for prior to wedding?
Time Limit. Wedding licenses eventually expire, some sooner than others. In Hawaii, your wedding license is good for 30 days, while Illinois gives you 60 days to tie the knot and New York's wedding licenses stay valid for a whopping 90 days. Amusingly, Nevada, home of the quickie marriage, gives couples plenty of time to think things over -- a year, to be exact.
