Marriage Licenses

Marriage licenses are required in the State of Maine. Prior to the clerk issuing a license, the intention application is required.  Please complete the information required in black ink only, but do not sign the application because you will need to sign it in the presence of the clerk/notary.  Both parties must be present to sign.

Your marriage license it is valid for 90 days. The cost of a marriage license is $40.00. If you have been married before a divorce decree with a raised seal or a death certificate is required at the time you are filling out your intentions.

If you have any questions concerning applying for a marriage license please contact the Clerk at 685-4939.

Due to the time it takes to file the Marriage Intentions we ask that you give us at least 30-45 minutes to complete the Marriage Intentions process. You may call/email ahead of time to make sure that the clerk is in the office and staffing/time restraints are not an issue and to check to make sure that you have all required documents. You can also complete the web fillable Marriage Intentions Form ahead of time (do not sign the document until you are in front of the clerk)
