Who Can Marry Us?

Many Individuals can perform marriages, as well as Justices of the Peace and Notary Publics. Under South Carolina law, commissioned military officers in active service of the Armed Forces have notarial powers over other military officers and their dependents. Unfortunately, unless the friend you would like to perform your marriage is already a Notary Public, he or she would have to become one, which in South Carolina requires the endorsement of county legislators or the state senator. No online ordainments in South Carolina. For information on the duties and powers of a Notary Public and on how to become one, call the Office of the Secretary of State, Notary Public Division, (800) 734-2119.
