NEW JERSEY MARRIAGE LICENSE INFORMATION.
A marriage license can be obtained by the bride, in her home town, from the registrar of vital statistics. If the bride lives out of NJ, then the groom shall file for it in his home town. If both live out of the state, you must obtain the license in the town where the wedding will be held. You will need one adult witness who knows both of you, to be present at the time of the application. You will be asked; the date, time, location, and the name, address, phone number of the officiant.
A license is issued for 30 days, and can be applied for up to one year in advance. Except as provided in sections 37:1-5 and 37:1-6 of Title 37, "the license shall not be issued by a licensing officer sooner than 72 hours after the application has been made". Also, you must have 2 adult witnesses at the ceremony who shall also sign the marriage certificate.
