1. Do I, the intended spouse, need to fill out any forms?

Only the inmate is required to fill out the form and submit it. It does not have to be filled out by the intended spouse.

2. What do I do now that my marriage request has been approved?

The person that is not incarcerated needs to apply for a marriage license through the County Clerk. Once that is done the application will need to be dropped off at the Jail/Geiger for the inmate to sign in front of a notary. The form will then need to be sent back out by the inmate. The Jail/Geiger does not need a copy of it.

3. How do I schedule the marriage once it has been approved?

The marriage will be handled like any normal visit. All visiting requirements apply to the wedding ceremony. The marriage will take place in a visiting booth during normal visiting hours. The inmate will not be allowed to dress into civilian clothes for the wedding, nor will there be an exchange of wedding rings allowed.

4. The date of the wedding needs to be changed. What do I do?

Changing the wedding date is fine. The Jail/Geiger does not need to be notified if the wedding date is changed as long as the visiting requirements are adhered to.
