We believe that this change will allow people to make more specific plans regarding their time, while at the same time, giving them the flexibility to show up at will if that suits them better. Reservations in our office work much like reservations in a restaurant, it doesn't ensure that you will be cared for at exactly the time of the reservation, but rather that you will be served before others that didn't have a reservation at that time. We are offering reservations and strongly encourage them for Marriage licenses, given the time and complexity of completing them.
