What do I need to get married?

Residents of Maine who intend to marry in Maine must record a notice of their intentions in the office of the clerk of the municipality in which at least one of the parties resides. Both the bride and groom must fill out an Intention of Marriage Form. The marriage license must also be signed in the Town Clerk’s office before it can be issued. This license is valid for a period of ninety (90) days from the date the intentions are filed. Out of state residents may file their Notice of Intentions in any municipal office. If either the bride or groom has been previously married, a certified copy of the divorce decree or death certificate must be presented to the clerk. The cost of the marriage license is $40.
