MARRIAGE LICENSE: $28.00 (check or cash)
TO OBTAIN A MARRIAGE LICENSE:
Both applicants and a witness (minimum 18 years old) who knows them both must come to the Municipal Building to apply for the license. They must bring a birth certificate and if either of the applicants are divorced, a copy of the final decree or a statement by the judge as to when the final decree was signed.
The Local Registrar will not issue a marriage license sooner than 72 hours after the application for a marriage license has been made.
Once the marriage license is issued, it is good for 30 days from the date of issuance.
WHERE SHOULD YOU APPLY FOR A MARRIAGE LICENSE?
If the applicant is a resident of New Jersey, the marriage license must be obtained from the Registrar of Vital Statistics in the municipality where he/she lives.
A license issued under either of the preceding circumstances is good for use anywhere in New Jersey.
If both applicants are non-residents of New Jersey, the license must be obtained from the Registrar of the municipality where the marriage is to be performed and is only good for use in that municipality.
