I wonder if Kentucky has the same laws on requiring the marriage be officiated in the county the license is issued like Tennessee has? If so who would officiate?
No, not unless they are under 18. They can also get the license from any other county clerk’s office. Therefore, the claim that Kim Davis was preventing them from getting licenses “for months” is a false argument they have been using.
Most states that I'm familiar with allow you to get your marriage license in one county and get married in another and file the license in a third if you want to. It's a state document, not a county one. County's handle the issuing of them for the same reason they issue driver's licenses and hunting licenses, convenience.
