Same-Day Marriages for Military Couples

- TRICARE spousal enrollment
- DEERS registration
- Spousal immigration petitions
- Command sponsorship for overseas assignments
Our team understands the urgency and logistics required to serve active duty, reservists, and veterans. We proudly offer military discounts, mobile services to bases and private locations, and quick document processing to ensure your legal union is recognized by the Department of Defense and U.S. government agencies.
