APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Both individuals must appear at the same time at the Town Clerks Office. However, if either party (or both) is a member of the armed forces, he or she shall forward an affidavit of marriage intentions, prepared by the armed forces legal representative, to the Town Clerk, if he or she cannot appear in person.

The couple will be given a marriage license worksheet that must be filled out.  When completing your marriage license worksheet please be sure to fill in every box.  We need full middle names and last names at birth even if the names are the same.  There are two pages to this worksheet.  The second page is to be filled in as much as possible and signed. "Person A" on the worksheet is to be completed by the groom and "Person B" is to be completed by the bride.  In the case of a same-sex couple, "Person A" information is to be completed alphabetically by last name (example: John Doe completes "Person A" information; John Smith completes "Person B" information).

Individuals may apply for a marriage license by calling our office during regular business hours to make an appointment.  Fridays we are unavailable to process marriage licenses.  Please arrive on time with the proper documentation.
