What do I need in order to get a Marriage License?

Both applicants must appear before the Town Clerk and complete a Notice of Intention of Marriage. After a 3 day waiting period the Clerks Office will issue a Certificate of Marriage which can only be used in Massachusetts; and is good for 60 days. After the marriage the Solemnizer (officiant) must send in the completed certificate to the Town Clerk. When received the couple may purchase certified copies of the Marriage Certificate.

Please note the Marriage Certificate will aways be where the couple fill out their Notice of Intention of Marriage.
