When To ApplyIn most cases, the marriage license is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. The registrar will need at least three days to process the application. What You Need To Bring With YouCall beforehand to see what documentation you will need to present at the time of application. Some towns do not require identification. However, some towns may ask to see a birth certificate or passport and proof of residency, such as a driver's license, lease, or tax return. If married previously, you will need to present a copy of the final divorce decree or death certificate. Where To ApplyApplication is always made at the municipal office in the bride's town, if she lives in New Jersey. If the bride doesn't live in New Jersey, you apply at the municipal office of the groom's town. If the bride and groom are both from out of state, you must apply at the municipal office of the town where the ceremony will take place. The fee for a marriage license varies and must be paid at the time of application. Be sure to bring cash. Filing The LicenseFive days after the wedding, the person who performs the ceremony should file the license with the registrar in the municipality where the marriage took place. Who Can Perform The Ceremony?Judges, mayors, and any minister of every religion are authorized to solemnize a marriage. Blood TestPre-marital blood tests are no longer necessary in New Jersey. Congratulations in advance and may you spend man, many happy years together. |
