Extended Hours for Marriage Licenses

Busy couples soon will be able to obtain marriage licenses in Lackawanna County without disrupting their daytime schedules.

Register of Wills Fran Koveleski announced today that the office will revive a popular program that was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic, by offering nighttime hours once each month for couples to obtain their licenses.

The Marriage License Bureau at the Lackawanna County Government Center, 123 Wyoming Avenue, Scranton, will be open from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of each month beginning March 28.

“We know it’s difficult for some people to get to our office during daytime hours,” Kovaleski said. “This provides an opportunity for them to get their licenses according to their own schedules.”
