Marriage & Civil Unions

If you are planning on entering into a marriage or civil union in New Jersey, there are a few things you need to know... First, if you currently live in New Jersey, you must apply for your license in the municipality in which either applicant currently resides (License Application Form, Application Form Instructions).  If neither applicant is a resident of New Jersey, but you are having your legal ceremony in New Jersey, you apply in the municipality in which you are planning to be married or enter into a civil union partnership. You must apply for your license in person.  Both the applicants must be present, as well as one witness at least 18 years old.  You must present proof of identification, and if you have dissolved a previous marriage or civil union, you must present legal papers. After you have applied, there is a 72-hour waiting period before the license can be issued.  You also should be aware that the license is only good for 30 days from the day of issuance, so you must plan accordingly. If you are a resident of Hanover Township, or a resident of a different State, but are planning on entering into a marriage or a civil union partnership in Hanover Township, please phone ahead for an appointment to apply for your license.  Registrar’s hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.). MARRIAGE AND CIVIL UNION CERTIFICATES Once you are united in marriage or a civil union partnership, you should have at least one certified copy of your Marriage or Civil Union certificate.  This certificate can only be issued by the municipality in which the legal ceremony was performed.  Certified copies are available in Hanover Township for a cost of $15 each.  To order copies of your certificate from Hanover Township use the form here.  This is a multi-purpose form used by the State of New Jersey for requesting copies of vital records.  When you fill it out, please be sure to indicate exactly what you are requesting.  Fax, mail, or bring it in to the Municipal Building.  If you mail it, please be sure to include the required fees.  If you Fax (973) 515-3772 or bring it in, you will pay the fees when you pick up the documents.  If you have any questions, please phone (973) 515-6667 or send an e-mail to the Health Department.
