Have you had difficulty getting a marriage license in Tennessee?
In Obergefell v. Hodges, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have a right to marry in Tennessee, and to have their valid out-of-state marriages recognized in Tennessee.
You should complete this form if you are being denied a marriage license in Tennessee and are interested in challenging that denial.
Please do not click away from this page until you see a new page that says “THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY” or your form answers will not be saved. Please review our disclaimer and notice at the bottom of this page.
NOTE: If you are being denied a marriage license in Tennessee but would prefer to look for an alternative county in which to obtain a marriage license rather than challenging this denial, please email our partners at the Tennessee Equality Project at chris@tnequalityproject.com.
If the U.S. Supreme Court decides that Tennessee must recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages, you were married to a same-sex partner outside of the state, and you are encountering difficulties having your marriage recognized for the purposes of probate, birth certificates, driver’s licenses, healthcare, insurance benefits, divorce, etc., please complete this form.
