UTCR 8.100 FORM TO REQUEST WAIVER OF $25 FEE (ORS 106.120) WHEN MARRIAGE HANDLED BY A COURT A. WHEN TO USE THIS FORM. There is an additional $25 statutory fee for people who want to get married by a judge of a circuit court, an appeals court, or the tax court if the marriage: • would take place during normal working hours, excluding holidays, • would take place in a court facility or county clerk’s office; or, • would involve more than a minimal amount of court or clerk staff time or other resources. If you want to get married but think you shouldn’t pay the fee, this form is how you ask a circuit court judge to waive that fee. A judge can waive the fee if you ask and the judge believes there is good reason why you shouldn’t have to pay the fee. B. HOW TO USE THIS FORM: The following are the three (3) steps necessary to use this form: 1. STEP 1. You must fill in information asked for in part “C” of this form and read, fill in, and sign part “D” of this form as required. 2. STEP 2. You must take the completed form to an Oregon Circuit Court judge and ask the judge to approve your request. That judge you go to MUST be a judge of the circuit court serving the county where the wedding will be performed. You cannot ask more than one judge every 30 days. 3. STEP 3. IF the circuit judge grants your request to waive the fee, the judge will sign the form below and so indicate on the form. Then the judge will give you a copy of the form. Within 30 days after the judge has signed the form showing the judge granted your request, you can get married without paying the fee by giving the judge who marries you the copy of the form you were given by the judge who granted your request. If you are asked to pay the fee by a county clerk when you get a marriage license, you can show them a copy of the form and will not have to pay the $25 fee. C. INFORMATION TO COMPLETE (STEP 1): 1.
