The answer varies according to the jurisdiction. You obtain marriage licenses from the City, Town or County Clerk depending on your jurisdiction. Call the Town Clerk's Office first and they will direct you to the right place.

Usually there is a waiting period of three days after you sign the marriage certificate before you can get married. In most states the certificate is good for 90 days. Check the state's laws in which you are to be married for more specific information.

Can you get marriage license in Kansas and get married in Arizona?
You have to get married in the same state in which you obtained your marriage license. But you can apply for an Arizona marriage license if that is the state in which you have decided to get married. Just because you got a marriage license in one state doesn't mean you can't change your mind and apply to get married in a different state. But when you do get married, you have to have a marriage license in the state in which you get married. The marriage license is not recorded as a "done deal" until after the wedding, so it shouldn't be a problem.
