Applying for a Greenville Marriage License
Both people who want to marry must appear together at the Pitt County Register of Deeds. The process cannot be completed with only one person present. Both parties need valid photo identification. Driver's licenses, state-issued IDs, and passports are acceptable. If either applicant was previously married, bring proof that the prior marriage ended through divorce or death.
The optional online application at regdeeds.pittcountync.gov/marriageapplication is a helpful first step. Fill it out at home before your visit. This way, staff can pull up your information when you arrive and the in-person portion goes faster. The online form does not replace the in-person requirement.
The license costs $60 and is valid anywhere in North Carolina for 60 days. After your ceremony, the officiant must return the completed license to the Pitt County Register of Deeds within 10 days. The register records the certificate and it becomes a permanent part of Greenville and Pitt County marriage history.
Marriage Licenses and East Carolina University
Greenville is home to East Carolina University, and many ECU students and staff marry in the area.

There are no special university-affiliated services for marriage licenses. Everyone goes through the county register at 100 E. 1st Street.
If you are planning a wedding in Greenville as a non-resident, perhaps because your partner lives here or you are having your ceremony at a local venue, you still need a North Carolina marriage license from a county register office. You can obtain it from any county in North Carolina. Pitt County is convenient if you will be in Greenville around the time you need to apply.
