The New York State Marriage License
http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/consumer/vr/married.htmThe above link is to the New York State Department of Health. All the information you need can be found there.
The license is good for 60 days, but don't wait until the day before because there is a 24 hours waiting period before the license can be executed.
New York City (City of New York Clerk's Website) I would suggest you check out the websites or call to ensure you have everything you need.
