Most expensive license of any county in the four metros researched, at $88, and cash only. Couples may apply between 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday to Friday; both parties must be present with photo ID. The court publishes an unusual statement about timing: 'By law there is a five day waiting period. Typically, our Court waives that waiting period and issues the license at the time of application, however, there may be circumstances under which the Court may hold a hearing on the application.' The license is valid for a ceremony anywhere in Ohio and expires after 60 days. At least one applicant must be a resident of Medina County; if both parties reside outside Ohio the ceremony must take place in Medina County. Certified copies are $3.00. The court posts a printable application rather than an online submission.
