Those seeking a marriage license should apply for one in the New Jersey municipality where either party resides. The license is valid throughout New Jersey.

However, due to the public health emergency please contact your local registrar first to determine if they are still open for business at this time as they may be closed to protect the health of residents and workers against COVID-19.

Find your local registrar here.

NOTE: Under Executive Order No. 107, all New Jersey residents have been directed to stay at home until further notice and may only leave under certain circumstances to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

At this time, all gatherings of individuals, such as parties, celebrations, or other social events, are prohibited, unless otherwise authorized by the Order.
