Texas Application for Waiver of The Seventy-Two Hour Waiting Period is an official document used to waive the 72-hour waiting period before a marriage ceremony can take place in the state of Texas. The document must be signed by the two individuals getting married, the officiant, and two witnesses in order to be valid. There are two types of Texas Application for Waiver of The Seventy-Two Hour Waiting Period: an online version and a paper version. The online version is completed through the Texas Department of State Health Services website and requires a valid Texas driver’s license or identification card. The paper version requires the same information as the online version but must be printed, completed, and signed by all four individuals. Both versions of the application must be submitted to the local county clerk’s office in order for the waiver to be accepted.
