Or google the county clerk's office if you are getting married in another county. I got married in Bernalillo county and DH is also divorced. We took his divorce decree and did not need it when we applied for the license. I asked about it and the clerk pretty much said the county is putting the responsibility on the applicants to have all their stuff together before they apply, hence the signatures. It was such an easy process. Again, that was only for Bernalillo County, so I'm not sure about any others.
As for your officiant, you should check with your ceremony location on their specific rules for who can perform the ceremony in their location.
