One of the all-important steps to getting properly, legally married, no matter what size or style of wedding celebration you’re planning, is navigating the process of obtaining and certifying your marriage license. If you are tying the knot in New Jersey, your future life together will not be recognized as a legal union without a New Jersey marriage license. The state’s 72-hour waiting period between filing your application to obtain your license and your actual wedding date has been reinstated—which means that, while you can apply for your license up to six months before your actual wedding date, the soonest you can get married is 72 hours after filing your application. I would recommend applying for your license no later than Tuesday if you are getting married over the weekend, because you will not technically receive your license until Friday. An in-office visit or appointment is required to initiate the process, with both partners prepared to provide the following paperwork, as well as proof of identification of an accompanying witness.
A New Jersey marriage license costs $28.00 for the application fee. The issuing authority must witness you signing the application under oath. One of the all-important steps to getting properly, legally married, no matter what size or style of wedding celebration you’re planning, is navigating the process of obtaining and certifying your marriage license.
Apply for the marriage license in the New Jersey municipality where either party resides. The license is valid throughout New Jersey. If neither applicant is a New Jersey resident, submit the application in the municipality where the marriage ceremony will be performed. Required documents
Proof of identity by presenting your driver’s license, passport or state/federal I.D. Proof of residency by one applicant if a NJ resident
Social Security number
A witness, 18 years of age or older
The $28 application fee
The only exception to this requirement is in the case where a civil and religious ceremony are to be performed on the same day. In this case, the Local Registrar will photocopy the marriage application, marking one “A” and one “B”, and issue the corresponding marriage licenses, marking them “A” and “B” as well. One copy will be used for the religious ceremony and the other for the civil ceremony.
