If you and your fiancé both live in New Jersey, apply at the municipal office in the bride’s town. If the bride is from out of state, apply in the groom’s town. If you are both nonresidents, apply in the town where you plan to marry.

The registrar needs at least 72 hours to process your application. The fee is $28, payable in cash or money order at the time of application; some towns accept checks.

It’s a good idea to call ahead to find out what documentation will be required by the town in which you are applying. In all cases, you must bring an adult witness. A blood test is not necessary in New Jersey.
Five days after your wedding, the person who performs the ceremony should file the license with the registrar in the community where the ceremony took place.
