You must have completed at least 12 hours of premarital education from a licensed or ordained minister or a person authorized to solemnize marriage under Minnesota Statutes, section 148B.33.
The Educator's Statement (PDF) must be printed on the letterhead of the person who provided the premarital education in order to receive the reduced fee of $40 cash only.
