MARRIAGE
LICENSES
HOW DO WE
GET A MARRIAGE LICENSE?
1. If you
are a resident of the State of Maine, you only need to
go to the City or Town Clerk's office in which one of
you reside in.
Example: Bride lives in Holden, but Groom lives
in Bangor. You can go to either Holden or Bangor
to file your intentions. You do not have to go to both
places. Choose which town or city that is more
convenient for you especially if you need certified
copies at a later date.
2. If you
are residents of another state coming into Maine to
marry, you can go to any City or Town in the State of
Maine to file your intentions and marry anywhere within
the State.
Example: Bride and Groom live in Florida and are
flying into Bangor. They can file their intentions
at the City Clerk's Office in Bangor and then go to Bar
Harbor and be married.
3. If a
prior marriage ended in either death or divorce, the
clerk needs to see a certified copy of the death
certificate or divorce decree. Photocopies are not
acceptable.
4. The
license is valid for 90 days.
5.
License fee $40.00.
MAINE NO
LONGER REQUIRES A THREE DAY WAITING PERIOD AFTER FILING
THE MARRIAGE INTENTIONS. THE LICENSE CAN NOW BE ISSUED
THE SAME DAY THE INTENTIONS ARE FILED.
