• Both applicants must be present in the Town Clerk’s office

   (Acceptable ID: A photo driver’s license, a DMV-issued photo non-driver’s I.D., a valid passport, an employee picture ID, original naturalization papers, or military photo I.D.)

2. How do I get a copy of my Marriage License?

You must fill out a Marriage Research Application form (PDF). It must be filled out by one of the two parties involved in the marriage or a Power of Attorney. The form must be notarized and there is a non-refundable search fee of $10. The marriage license is filed where you applied for your license, not necessarily where you were married.
