Getting married in Kentucky

Same-sex couples have married in Kentucky since 2015. In November 2025, the Supreme Court declined to hear former Rowan County clerk Kim Davis’s attempt to revisit marriage equality, so your right to marry here is secure.

The legal bit

Apply at a county clerk. There’s no waiting period, and your license is valid for 30 days, counting the day it’s issued, anywhere in Kentucky. At least two witnesses must be present at your ceremony.
