Copy And Paste In Legal Maine Marriage Forms For Free

If you deliver your Intentions form in person, please keep in mind that while there is no ?waiting period? in Maine, it takes at least 30 minutes to prepare a Marriage License. For Intentions received in person after 4pm, or during particularly busy seasons, the license may not be available until the following day.

Marriage Licenses are valid for 90 days from the date of application. There is no longer a waiting period to obtain a marriage license. Once the application is complete, the Marriage License can be issued. A Member of the Clergy, a Maine Notary Public, or an Attorney (licensed in Maine) can perform marriages.

Application is made by both the party A and the party B. Each must show proof of identity (a driver's license or state I.D.) and, if there have been previous marriages for either applicant, Certified Documents of Death or Divorce of the most recent marriage must also be presented.

Maine does not recognize common law marriage. Unmarried partners are considered unrelated individuals under Maine law. There is no action equivalent to a divorce for unmarried partners to address issues concerning who owns or how to divide personal property, real estate, other assets, and joint debts.

Maine law limits access to certified vital records to individuals named on the record, their spouse, registered domestic partner, descendants, parents or guardians, or their designated attorney, federal/state/local government, or genealogist or agent.

Ordering a Marriage Record Name of both parties (please provide names before first marriage) Date of marriage. Name of city/town the marriage occurred in. Please include a daytime telephone number. Please make the check payable to: "Treasurer - State of Maine".
