Licenses
| Marriage |
| Couples who will be married in Massachusetts must
appear together at the office of any city or town clerk in the Commonwealth
to file the Intention of Marriage. Following completion of a Marriage
Intention, a three day waiting period is required before a license
can be issued. A waiver of the waiting period may be granted by the
local District Court. In that instance the couple brings the court
waiver to the town clerk and a marriage license may be issued immediately.
Persons seeking a marriage license must be at least eighteen years
old or have a court order providing for an exception.
A marriage license must be used within sixty days from the date
of filing the Intention of Marriage. Following the marriage ceremony,
the officiant must sign the license and return it to the city or
town where it was issued. The fee to file Intention of Marriage
is $25.00.
