Witnesses filled out their part wrong

MrsE2020, on February 25, 2020 at 3:49 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 6

We were married last Thursday. After the ceremony, the officiant had our witnesses fill out the license and with all the commotion, I didn't realize they filled out their part wrong (one signed where the other was supposed to print their name) until I went to go mail it off the next day. I haven't mailed it yet but wondering if there is anything I can do to fix it or if it will be ok. All of the pertinent info is on there. I tried calling the registrar but couldn't get through, maybe I will keep trying.

    I would visit the clerk's office in person. There's definitely nothing that you can do to fix it, but you may need to have a duplicate printed and filled out.

    I agree with Caytlyn, that you should visit the clerks office in person.
    I also think you should mention this to your officiant. It is their responsibility to make sure your license is filled out correctly when they sign off on it. Seems like they didn’t do their job very well.

    Agree with Caytlyn and Meghan. Visit and person, but also follow up with your officiant. This is part of their job!

    Talked to county clerk. Officiant just has to fill out an affidavit and all is good. He feels terrible but it was rushed after. We tried to get it done before ceremony but it didn’t work out.

    I'm glad it all worked out. I got married on Saturday and took our license to the clerk of court in my area on Monday. It's good that I did that instead of mailing it in b/c she could not read our officiant's handwriting and I had to call him to verify some of his information. She told me if I would've mailed it in, it would've been rejected.

    Oh wow. Good call. I called and she let me know what was going on. I had called to tell them that I thought it was filled out wrong but they already had a note. Luckily you can easily talk to a person in the recorders office.
