N.D. Cent. Code § 14-03-11
in effect14-03-11. Who issues marriage license to official
When an official authorized to issue a marriage license desires to have a license for the
official's own marriage issued in the county of the official's residence, the official may request
another authorized official to act in the official's stead upon the application for the license. The
other official has the power and authority to issue the license in the county of the residence of
the official seeking the license. The request must be in writing and must be filed, with the
application and other related papers, and must be recorded in the marriage record. Upon the
return of the license, the official serving the county in which it was issued may record it and note
the record thereon notwithstanding the official is one of the contracting parties named in the
license.
