Filing of Marriage Intentions

The first step to obtaining your marriage license it to ensure you have completed your marriage intentions form, which is required by the State of Maine.

If you are both residents of Maine but live in separate towns/cities you may have your marriage intentions recorded by the Clerk in either town/city. If one is a Maine resident and one is not, you must file in the town/city of Maine resident. If intended parties are both from another State or Country and wish to marry in Maine, they can file intentions in any town/city in Maine and may be married anywhere in the State of Maine.

For Out-Of-State residents coming to Maine to get married, they may get the marriage license from the clerk of any town or city in the State of Maine.

Previous Marriages

If either (or both) party has been married before, they must submit a certified copy of the divorce papers (death certificate or annulment papers) to the Clerk.

There is no longer a waiting period between the time the application is submitted and the license is issued.  The filing fee is $40.00.

License Validity

Once issued, the license is valid anywhere in the State of Maine for 90 days.

Fees

The filing fee is $40.00.
