Vow Renewal Certificate
Do you need one?

There has been a lot of talk recently about the legalities of renewing your vows and whether you need to have a license.

At the end of the day renewing your vows is not a legal ceremony so the easy answer is that you don’t need any official pieces of paper, however there are a few exceptions. Apart from the exceptions you can have your ceremony wherever you like and however you like.

It is worth noting that if you choose to use an officiant you may need to show them your marriage certificate.

Where You Must Have A Vow Renewal License
