Insert Pages To Legal Vermont Marriage Forms For Free

Individuals permitted to receive a Public Marriage Record: One of the parties to the marriage or a parent or legal guardian of one of the parties. A member of a law enforcement agency or a representative of another governmental agency, as provided by law, who is conducting official business.

Vermont law does not require witnesses. If you are planning a religious ceremony, check with your church or synagogue to see if religious tenets require witnesses for your ceremony. How do we get a copy of the marriage certificate? Here are two ways to obtain a copy of your marriage certificate.

You cannot marry a parent, grandparent, sister, brother, child, grandchild, niece, nephew, aunt or uncle. You cannot marry if either of you is currently married to someone else, or if either of you is joined in a civil union to someone else. The law requires that both parties be of sound mind.

Vermont law requires that at least one of you must be present to sign the license in front of a town clerk, and both parties MUST sign the application. You must bring a State or Federal ID with you to obtain the license (this includes a driver's license, non-driver's license, passport, etc.).

Certified copies can be requested online through the Vital Records Request Service. Form VSARA-09 may be used for marriages/civil unions and divorces only and must be mailed. There is a cost of $10.00 per certification. If also requesting an authentication for foreign use (e.g. Apostille), it is an additional $10.00.

Besides basic information about yourselves (names, towns of residence, places and dates of birth), you must also provide your parents' names, including your mothers' birth (maiden) names, and their places of birth. Certified copies of your birth certificates can supply most of this information.
