Marriage
Licenses
A
marriage license may be obtained from any town or city clerk in New Hampshire
regardless of where you live. Once you obtain the license, you may be
married anywhere in New Hampshire. Both the bride and groom must appear
in person to fill in the marriage worksheet. Please bring proof of
identification and age (birth certificate, driverŐs license). If you were
married before, you must present a certified copy of your divorce or
annulment decree or death certificate, whichever is applicable.
There
is no longer a waiting period before you can be married in the State of New
Hampshire. You may be married the day you get the license. There is
no blood work required. Helpful hint: know the state or country of
birth for your parents.
If
you need a certified copy of your marriage license, you may request a copy in
person or by providing the following information in writing:
Name
of Groom
Name
of Bride
Date
of Marriage
Place
of Marriage
Purpose
for which the certificate is needed
If
requesting the copy by mail, you will also need to send a photocopy of your
picture ID, such as a driverŐs license or government issued ID. If you
are requesting a record for someone other than yourself, you will need to state
your relationship to the person whose record you want.
New
Hampshire law requires that a nonrefundable search fee of $15.00 be collected
for each record requested. This search fee also covers the certified
record cost for the first certified copy. Additional certified copies of
the same record, ordered at the same time, are available for $10.00 each.
Please make checks payable to the ŇHaverhill Town Clerk.Ó
