How do we get marriage paperwork processed before getting to our Army Duty Station, We don't have a base close?

My Fiancee and i are getting married and he wants to have our paper work processed before he has to report to his next duty station. He is going to be home for 10 days and wants to have everything in and taken care of before he has to report. what do we do to get all of this taken care of? Where do we go to get our paperwork processed? Is there someone that we can contact and find this Information out? We don't have any military bases ANYWHERE near us.How do we get marriage paperwork processed before getting to our Army Duty Station, We don't have a base close?
He needs to ';check in'; early and get it taken care of at his gaining command/duty station. Or check in as required and take care of it then.... but he does need to do it at his gaining command!How do we get marriage paperwork processed before getting to our Army Duty Station, We don't have a base close?
He needs to take the paperwork along with you to the closest base or Reserve or National Guard Center to you. If it isn't possible then you will have to wait until he reports into his next base and goes to the Personnel Office. If the later happens then he will also need a copy of your birth certificate and SSN card with him. Once your information is entered into DEERS you are considered a dependent.
Like a few others have said... when you inprocess. Don't worry about it. Once the two of you (or him) inprocess at the gaining assignment, he'll provide the required documents and be all set. Good news, you'll receive back pay to the date of your marriage ie... extra $'s. Just to avoid any confusion; if he is going overseas before you, make sure he has a lease agreement of some sort or a notorized letter showing your where'abouts with that zip code along with the marriage certificate.
They will take care of that when he Reports to his new Duty Station it's never wise to try to deal with someone that you will never see again if they lose something or just put it off for a while besides a copy of your Marriage certificate has to go into His file they will take care of all of this during his in processing
He will have to sign in to his gaining unit to process the paperwork.





Good luck on the upcoming marriage





You will find that being an Army wife will be hard.
it won't get taken care of until he reports to his next duty station. only THEY can amend his orders to include you on them.
any courthouse
You can get a marriage licence at the court house, and you can get married and get a copy of the marriage certificate whereever you want. But I assume you are talking about the dependents form for the army, and housing or allowance for housing. In that case, you need a mariage certificate, and you may need other documents too. The only way I know to do that is to have him take care of it when he inprocesses either at at his new unit's S1, at his new post, or when he out-processes at his old unit's S1 (unless of course his old unit is basic training or a school). Even if you can get it done some other way, it will probably take the same ammount of time.





The good news is that even if you don't have the dependents form filled out and approved, you will be allowed to get that taken care of and put in for familty housing almost as soon as you get there, and you will be able to stay in temporary family lodging in the meantime. He will not be required to move into the barracks as long as he has a marriage certificate and fills out the dependent's form.





The bad news is that because you were not married and had not filled out the dependent's form before he got orders to go to his new post, his orders do not allow him to move any additional houshold items, besides the very limited ammount of personal stuff a single soldier is permitted to move to a new duty station. In other words, get rid of everything and travel light!
