Answer:
The marriage license will be issued in the county where your wedding will take place. If both you and your finance are not a resident of Georgia, you guys can apply for license in the county where your wedding is to take place.O.C.G.A. § 19-3-30 states:
“(2) If one of the persons to be married is a resident of this state, the license may be issued in any county of this state. If neither the male nor the female to be married is a resident of this state, the license shall be issued in the county in which the ceremony is to be performed.”
