How do we get our Maine marriage license?
If you are getting married in Maine, you have to obtain your license in Maine. Here, Town and City Clerk's Offices issue marriage licenses. If one or both of you live in Maine, go to the Town/City Clerk Office where you reside. If neither of you live in Maine, you may go to any Town/City Clerk's Office in the state.
Bring with you:
- ID - a driver's license, state ID, or passport
- If you have been married before, a certified copy (with a raised or foil seal) of the divorce decree or death certificate from the previous marriage
- $40 for the license.
You can fill out the marriage license application in advance by clicking here or at the Clerk's Office. They will give you a license that is valid for 90 days. Your officiant is responsible for completing and returning the license to the Clerk's Office after your ceremony.
