Marriage Licenses
Marriage License
Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! To obtain a marriage license from the Town Clerk’s Office you must complete the Maine Intention of Marriage Application (see 2 versions below) prior to coming into our office. This form is rather extensive and needs to be filled out completely - except for the signatures. The form must be signed by both individuals in the presence of a Clerk, so please DO NOT SIGN IT in advance.
Please note that both individuals must be present to obtain the marriage license.
**Marriage Licenses are by APPOINTMENT ONLY Tuesday - Friday 7:30am - 4:00pm. Please call the office to schedule your appointment at 207/693-6364 ex. 100 or email mthibodeau@townofnaples.org**
What You Need to Bring:
- Completed Marriage Intentions (Application)
- Photo Identification
- If previously married, a certified/sealed copy of divorce decree or death certificate of the former spouse
- $40 check (made payable to Town of Naples)
Important Things To Know
- *NEW Legislation* - (September 2019) The new language in law will require parties who plan to get married in Maine to provide their proposed new name(s) on the marriage intention application, marriage license, and certificate if the parties intend to change their name(s) upon marriage. Parties who do not wish to change their name may leave the field blank or provide their current legal name. The parties' new name(s) will become effective upon once the marriage record has been registered in the Electronic Marriage Registration System (EMRS).
- Maine residents must file their intentions in the town/city that one of them resides in.
- If both parties reside outside of Maine, they can file their intentions in any municipal office.
- The license will expire within 90 days of issuance
