During the Government shutdown, all jurors should report to Court according to their jurors summons. The issuing of marriage licenses and performing marriage ceremonies will cease during the lapse, however starting on October 14, 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. For more details, visit our MARRIAGE page here: https://www.dccourts.gov/services/marriage-matters. Superior Court staff will continue to issue certified copies of vital records, which include certified copies of marriage certificates.
