You forgot to mention one thing - the time!!!!! Lord knows why you need to do this - but I guess it's none of my business.

Anyway, you could always call your local courthouse for information.

I found some information which may be of help on whom etc.:

The license! Now why didn't I think of that!

Wonder if there's a waiting period? Could mess things up a little eh?
