Marriage Licenses

Maine Residents must apply in the town or city in which they reside. For couples who maintain separate Maine residences, they can apply in one of the communities of residence. If either applicant is a Maine resident and the fiancé/fiancée resides out-of-state, both applicants should apply in the town of residence of the Maine resident. Out-of-State Residents may apply in any town and hold the ceremony in any town. The license is valid in any community in Maine for a period of 90 days from the date the intentions are filed.

1. Prepare the following:
   • Intention of Marriage Form (notarized signatures required)
   • Proof of identity (ie. driver’s license, passport, state ID)
   • Record of Social Security Numbers
   • If either applicant has been previously married, a certified copy of the death certificate or divorce decree, whichever ended the previous marriage
   • $40 filing fee
2. Both applicants must bring the materials from step 1 to the office of the Town Clerk prior to the ceremony. You do not need an appointment, but we will not begin processing an application after 4:30pm.
3. The marriage license is completed by an officiant who is legally qualified to perform a marriage in Maine and signed by two witnesses. The officiant returns the license to the Town Clerk’s department for filing.
4. Certified copies are available through the Town Clerk’s Office by request only. Simply follow the instructions under the “Marriage Certificates” section above.
