If you've been previously married, you will need to provide the date of the divorce and possibly a certified copy of the divorce decree.  Check with the individual office concerning requirements.

There is no waiting period between a divorce and applying for a new license.

The license must be presented before the ceremony takes place. 

Immediately after the wedding ceremony the license must be signed by two witness (at least 18 years old). The marriage license will be signing by the officiant, who is responsible for returning it to the Register of Deeds office in the county where it was issued.

You will not automatically receive a certified copy.  A certified copy of the marriage license may be obtained after the original license is recorded at the Register of Deeds office. Certified copies cost $10 each.
