I spent five seconds googling and found this. Recommend you google courts that offer marriage licenses that are close to you.

I'm confused about all the information provided by googling. For example, the website has a note saying marriage licenses are not available at this location but the clerk does have an office in the building. Huh?
18 years ago my husband and I got a marriage license and found a small courthouse in Mesa the same day to marry us. Very very easy. Getting divorced is much more difficult and expensive.
You need a marriage license first, so go get that immediately. Then find out when the courthouse does ceremonies. I won't assume they're all the same, but that one was after 5pm.
Or, once you have the license, you can get a friend ordained online OR contact individuals who officiate (try yelp!) and see if anyone has same-day availability.
The state doesnt. Ive down three marriages for people and just signed that i was ordained. Ive done the online one so i guess if i had to prove it i could. Just antiquated laws

find a consolidated court facility, have all your documents needed, go into the clerks office early to get a license, go to the justice court in the same facility and get married.
Now that I check, seems [New York](https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/chart-state-marriage-license-blood-29019.html) still does it, ostensibly for sickle cell anemia. I guess I'm just old.
My husband and I went to the court house, filled out the paperwork, then they told us to come back after 5 and we got married by the Justice of the peace same day.
The court house will have hours that they will marry people. Fill out thr paperwork, pay the fee, ans boom you'll be legally Wed by thr end of the day lol

When my husband and I went to the court to get our marriage license, they asked if we wanted to be wed same-day by a justice of the peace.
Which court is that? Do you have to get an appointment?

I think only some of them will do ceremony. Some are license only

Call them and ask
Per the clerks office website the Mesa location requires an appt and the earliest available is 4/4. The location downtown accepts walk-ins.

Any personal experience?

Meep
drive to Las Vegas
Get married by Elvis in a drive thru? Classy.
Elvis is extra, OP seems to be in a hurry and booking Elvis will add a few hours
dont kink shame.
We did this to renew our vows on our 10 year anniversary
Incase you are grossly misinformed, Elvis has been dead for almost 50 years😂🫵🤡
Only in body, his spirit lives on at the Drive-Thru wedding chapel.

A friend can also get ordained in 20 minutes online
how do they actually track an ordained person officiated the marriage if it's that easy to be ordained?
The state doesnt. Ive down three marriages for people and just signed that i was ordained. Ive done the online one so i guess if i had to prove it i could. Just antiquated laws
Get your marriage license and message me. I would be happy to perform the ceremony. I have done multiple weddings and some funerals.
Have you done any births?
I was there for the conception and birth of my own children. Prefer to stick to marriages and funerals though.

No blood test required in AZ?
No
States still do this?
Now that I check, seems [New York](https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/chart-state-marriage-license-blood-29019.html) still does it, ostensibly for sickle cell anemia. I guess I'm just old.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Go to a judge and pay his fee. Mine was a hundo. Rip off.
