One-day Marriage Officiants
The one-day marriage officiant must fill out the application with their information as well as the name, address, and birthdate of the parties to be married as they appear on the marriage license. The one-day marriage officiant MUST apply for the one-day license from the same office that is issuing/issued the couple’s marriage license and the information must match on both applications.
The one-day marriage officiant should schedule their appointment to occur simultaneously or after the couple has obtained their marriage license. If the applicant cannot appear in person, they should fill out the application, have it notarized and mail to the town clerks office after the couple has obtained their marriage license and within sufficient time to process the application prior to the wedding.
The fee for the one-day marriage officiant license is $25.
The one-day marriage officiant license is only valid for the couple specified on the application.
