How do I apply for a Marriage License?

A marriage license is obtained in the municipality where either party resides.  If neither applicant is a New Jersey resident, submit the application in the municipality where the marriage ceremony will be performed.  In this case, the license is only valid in the issuing municipality.  A witness, 18 years of age or older must be present. The license fee is $28.00.  To schedule an appointment, please contact our Registrar of Vital Statistics at (973) 543-4555 ext. 211.
