The issuing of marriage licenses and performing marriage ceremonies will cease during the lapse, however starting on October 10, 2025, the District of Columbia Office of the Secretary will issue marriage licenses, certified copies of marriage licenses issued by the Secretary, and authorize religious and civil celebrants to perform weddings in the District of Columbia.
